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.
