I bound this antique style journal with hand dyed brownish Italian leather. The symbols engraved on the center plates are the uroboros which signifies the eternal cycle of life, death and rebirth. I believe the act of writing makes us the demiurge of our life. Therefore we create our reality and we make our words eternal.
I bound my journal with quality leather, 95gr light creamy color blank paper which is great not only for fountain pens (it doesn't bleed through) but also for graphite and watercolor. Pages are hand sewed. I did gold decorations with 24K gold leaves. Edges are marbled. Marbled endpapers are unique because I made and selected the best one for this journal.
All processes are done by hand, in accordance with tradition and respect for the environment. Although it takes a lot of time, this journal is bound with love and care, making each one a unique piece.
Please note this journal is not a moleskine that it bends on itself. This journal has a structure, it is sewn on five cords, it has a rounded and hammered back. This journal opens well and is easy to write. It'll last longer and will protect your words through the future generations.
-Size: about 17.5x24.5cm (=6.9x9.6 inches)
-About 390 pages (about 195 sheets)
You're welcome to personalize the journal with engraved title or initials on the spine. After your order, I'll contact you for personalization.

This is my fifth book and first journal from Niccolò and I can't praise his work enough. You will not find this quality and unique style elsewhere. I can't imagine buying from a different bookbinder. Niccolò's books bring me so much joy and I can't wait to get the next book bound by him. He definitely grew into one of my most favourite artists in my life. If you love and treasure books he is the right man!
The journal works perfect for sketching. I use it for pencil drafts and illustrations for upcoming oil paintings. The paper quality and structure is really nice for pencil work. It is not the thickest paper though so the artwork might shine through on the backside a tiny bit. You should keep that in mind when sketching. I haven't tested using watercolour in the journal yet and I am unsure if I dare to. I usually use way thicker paper for watercolour paintings. However, for pencil work or rather dry mediums this journal is absolutely perfect. It will protect my art for a very long time whilst looking more than totally stunning.
I will keep buying and supporting Niccolò's work and grow a nice collection over the years. His handcraft and art is a treasure I want to keep on this world. I swear by everything I treasure as an artist: His books are worth every coin you spend! Don't hesitate if you have the chance to get one of his amazing and unique creations.
Thanks again dear Niccolò!
