Full description
This journal is not a stock item, when you buy this book we will be making it especially for you, this takes time! Please see our shop homepage for our current dispatch dates.
~Description~
We have made this journal from a single piece of vegetable tanned leather. The wraparound cover encloses the paper and is held in place with thonging that we make from the same leather.
We make the 'ghost' fern leaf effect, which goes all the way around the book, using a special magic leather dye that we make ourselves. We lay real fern leaves onto the leather and apply the clear dye, as it dries it develops like a photograph, leaving the ghost of the fern leaf behind. We have adapted this method from an old book-binding technique and our inspiration for this design comes from cave painting techniques and early photography.
~Size & Binding~
22cm x 15cm x 3cm (8.5 x 6 x 1.25 inches)
250 pages (500 sides) of A5 sized, unlined, recycled, paper.
The pages in this book are hand bound using a strong waxed cord. No glue is used, so the spine of the book cannot be broken, our binding is strong and permanent.
~Paper~
We're proud to say that this award winning paper is 100% recycled from unbleached post-consumer waste, which saves water, energy and trees.
It is a natural, off-white, oatmeal colour with faint flecks. It has a matt appearance, is slightly textured and it takes a fountain pen without 'bleeding'.
It's of archival quality which means that it will last for hundreds of years. This is great if you're planning on leaving your words for future generations!
~Personalisation~
We can personalise this journal for you. Unlike our journals with carved designs the leather is not suitable for tooling. However, we can print a name, initials, date, inscription, or any other text that you can think of on the first page of this book. This is free of charge, just let us know what text you would like on ordering.
