Burgundy Leather Journal

This A5 art journal has been handmade using a traditional Medieval ledger binding technique. This technique involves the pages being sewn onto soft pig-skin leather strips using linen thread, and the book-block then being sewn onto the leather cover by direct tacketing with cotton. Once full, the pages can be removed and rebound seperately, and the journal refilled. The leather used is a soft pig skin, and is very soft, yet durable. The book contains 336 pages of 120gsm sketching paper, suitable for ink pen and dry media.
