Leather Journal / Blank Book, Light brown with dark brown diamond checker pattern, Gold Tooled Decoration

This journal is bound in light brown leather with fine grain texture. The decoration I chose for the cover was made by tooling the leather with heated tools with gold foil, each element at the time. The diamond checker pattern was hand painted with leather dye in a darker brown tone. 

The book measures 7.5x10.2 inches (19x26 cm). It has 124 pages (248 sides) of Favini Laguna artist paper with parchment finish. This paper is acid free, hand-torn, has 180 gsm and will work for writing and sketching in any media, even watercolor.

The end pages are made of marbled paper with colored veins in tones of orange, yellow, blue and red. The headbands were hand sewn from gold and brown color threads.

This book is an art object. I hope you will enjoy it!
