Brown leather journal with blind tooled decoration, Monochrome Textures
This is a large blank book bound in high quality goatskin of a soft brown color. The tooled decoration creates a beautiful texture and gives this book a very tactile feel. The design was finished with patina to look aged. It is new, but has the personality and charm of a book with history. The design is tooled by hand in detail, reminding of the medieval tomes, when great care was paid to every aspect involved in the making of a book.
The book measures 7.5 x 8.3 inches (18.5 x 26 cm). It has and has 124 pages (248 sides) of Favini Laguna artist paper with parchment finish. This paper is acid free, hand-torn, has 180 gsm and will work for writing and sketching in any media, even watercolor.
The endpapers are made of hand marbled paper, brown with black veins. The headbands are hand-sewn from brown and ocher color thread.
You can use this book as a sketchbook, photoalbum or even a guest book for a special events. I hope it will make a beautiful addition to your library!
