Mini Blue Heritage Veg Tan Leather Wrapped Journal Sketch - long stitch binding - with brand
A gorgeous, completely hand made leather covered mini journal or sketchbook. Made from a lightweight heritage veg tan, salvaged from the now closed Spire Tannery in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The leather has been hand dyed a beautiful airforce blue colour and is both stiff and supple for a journal that holds its shape but still feels lovely to handle. This one makes use of a brand within the leather as a feature, making it well and truly unique!
Inside there are 33 sheets (66 pages) of coloured blank 80gsm origami paper in 3 gatherings or signatures, each topped and tailed with a sheet of marble patterned origami paper to add colour and interest. Each signature is hand sewn directly into the cover with a long stitch, using a variegated waxed thread for a stunning spine. The leather wraps around and the journal is held closed with a thong made from the same leather, but dyed a dark pink for a subtle contrast.
See photos for dimensions.
This journal/sketchbook was made as part of a competition/challenge set by Identity Leather to make the best use of one hide. I decided rather than cutting the brand out to embrace it and make it a feature - and I think it looks pretty cool!
