There are times when I have been out for a walk and I have not had my camera at hand. This journal is designed to store any leaves or flowers that you may want to take back home for an art project or journal or for identification. You may not wish to use it as a press and use it for a notebook for ideas, projects, and poetry.
I managed to salvage a large consignment of off cuts of chrome tanned leather.

Full description
This hand bound journal was made by traditional methods, the paper was made and cut by hand and then stitched.
The covers are made from salvaged plywood (this may slightly vary to photograph) and the wrap around enclosure is from salvaged off cuts from a leather sofa manufacturer (leather is chrome tanned). I lined the leather wrap-around enclosure with thick canvas cotton (purchased) fixed by hand sewn saddle stitch. The enclosure is secured by a gun metal colour popper fastener.
The leather has been conditioned with beeswax and jojoba oil.
The paper is handmade, (mango leaf) so may not 'take' fountain pen ink too well (may bleed)- but should be fine with Biro or pencil. It is thick and absorbent so ideal for pressing flowers or leaves.
Dimensions of book: 13 cm x 14 cm x 5 cm.
Size of page: 10.5 cm x 13.5 cm - Portrait. Number of pages: 60 (120 sides)
Binding- Long stitch.
Designed by Jennifer Mosley BA (hons)-Artist & Benjamin Knibbs- Maker and Book Binder in Budleigh salterton
