Day 25-Another Fat Little Hair-on Journal

Back to one of my favorites, a little leather journal made with hair-on cowhide. This one is a nice fat one, with 72 thick, creamy pages (144 counting  both sides) of Arches text-wove art paper, which is wonderful for pencil, pen and ink, charcoal and other not-too-wet medium.

The end pages are tan banana paper. The leather cover wraps around the front and is closed with a soft leather thong with a big bone bead on the end. It is bound with a longstitch binding with black waxed Irish linen thread.

This little fat book measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" x 1 1/8" thick. A nice book in the hand. And the longstitch binding means it lays flat when open, easier for writing in.
