Handmade Exposed Spine Mini Sketchbook - Bug Collection

Dove gray paper covers printed with a vintage insect collection. Stag beetles, rhinoceros beetles, longhorn beetles, moths, and spotted butterflies in warm browns and charcoal. The spine is hand-sewn in kettle and chain stitches with brown thread, then woven with brown thread in a triple X pattern and finished with brown clay beads. The insect paper continues onto the hinges along the spine. Inside, you’ll find vintage botanical end papers with irises, ferns, and coral and pink blooms.

144 pages of white sketch paper in a book about the size of your palm. Use it as a pocket sketchbook, a travel doodle book, or a tiny grimoire for your familiar. Small enough for a coat pocket, a purse, or a very organized altar.

No two books in the bindery are exactly alike, and once a book is gone it won’t be made again. The book you see in the picture is the book you’ll receive.

This Book Is Great For: Dry media like pen, pencil, charcoal, and fountain pens. Quick sketches, sigils, spell notes, tarot pulls, and keeping track of whatever your familiar knocked off the table today. This paper doesn't like getting wet and a splash will make the pages warp. Soaked, the paper itself will start to break down. The binding will hold up fine, but the pages won’t stand a chance.
