This journal is bound in burgundy goatskin with tones varying from brown to deep purple and smooth texture with visible leather grain. I designed it to have a romantic aspect, to look like a precious tome that belonged to an era of past times where objects were equally beautiful and useful. The decoration I chose for the cover gives it a precious look as it was made by silver tooling, each small element at the time. Patina was applied to the edges to give it a vintage look.
The book measures 5 x 6.5 inches (12.5 x 16.5 cm). It is filled with Favini Tree Free paper (120 gsm) which is made 75% from bamboo and 25% from cotton fiber. These high quality fibers give a smooth and natural look as well as a soft finish. This paper is acid free and it will hold well ink and dry media.
The headbands are hand sewn with silver and black threads. The endpapers are made of decorative paper with a floral pattern in silver and pinkish tones.
This little book is an art object. I hope you will love it once you’ll meet it.
