Natural leather journal with blind tooled decoration - The Eye of the Universe

This medium size journal is bound in natural leather, the shades and differences of texture being part of its nature. I designed it to have an occult look, magic and mysterious. Some accents were painted by hand to add a bit of contrast to the symbols. The cover features an astrological theme, with the zodiac symbols circled around the Eye of the Universe. The background is filled with dots and stars to suggest the vault of the sky.

The spine of the book has 4 raised bands disposed as shown in the first photograph. 

The book measures 4.7 x 6.3 inches (12 x 16 cm). It is filled with Conqueror laid cream paper and has 180 pages (360 sides). The paper is hand thorn, acid free and has a ribbed texture created to guide handwriting. This quality paper it will hold well ink and dry media.

The headbands are hand sewn with gold and green colored threads. The endpapers are made of marbled paper with green and brown veins. 

This little book is an art object. I hope you will love it once you’ll meet it.
