I like really fat journals. And this one is fat. and I love the pink with black details... reminds me of the '50s, when pink and black were IT. This long stitch bound journal -- also called the Medieval limp binding--is smallish, just 4" x 5" by almost 1 1/2" thick. It has 8 signatures of heavy artist paper, 96 pages worth (192 pages front and back).
The end papers are a yummy bright red Asian paper with gold brushstrokes. The long stitch binding is done with black waxed linen thread and the book closes with a black leather thong.
The dangle on the end of the thong is really beautiful fused dichroic glass (and a thank you to my friend Shannon for the gift). Not only does it close the journal, but it can also act as a nice place marker.
A simple, pretty and really nice little fat journal/blank book.

Great book. I think it is extra nice because it so fat.
ReplyDeleteI'd be afraid of breaking the glass piece, but it is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of fat journals, too, but they are so hard to write in. I buy them anyways and then have to use another fat book or something to lay my arm and hand on as I go down the page. Where there's a will, there's a way, right? LOL!
