Deliciously handmade journal Da Vinci theme

I'd keep this one for sure if I hadn't just recently made myself one! This is a journal to record dreams/adventures/goals/bright ideas/poems/musings... ANYTHING you want to. Or sketches!

It's quite a masculine journal (not just because of the picture on the cover) it just has that sort of feel to it. But as I said - I'd use it so it doesn't necessarily have to be for a man only.

I've aged the paper to make it look old and added a wax seal. Inside the pages have been dyed in tea giving them a rich tan antiqued look to them. A few of the pages have little old images on them too.

I've bound the book using an old method called Coptic binding. This allows the journal to open out flat making it easy to write it. I've used tan coloured thread dyed in coffee to bind it.

I've put a strip of old leather down the edge to also create an old worldly feel to it.

The journal measures:
215 x 250 mm
It has 96 pages (if you write on both sides).

I'm a book artist who creates handmade books & journals & photograph albums to all sorts of themes. I also teach bookmaking and bookbinding classes. My profile will tell you a little more.

Thanks for looking.
