Handmade Exposed Spine Journal - Venetian Damask No.1

A fabric that could have covered the settee of a Venetian contessa. Deep teal medallions and scrollwork on a dusty celadon ground, with chocolate brown and gold running through every curl and flourish. The end papers are deep hunter green. The spine is hand-sewn with kettle stitches, with a separate decorative weave in a web pattern, finished with antique gold beads.

96 pages of smooth white writing paper, left blank so you can write, sketch, or document the world wherever you end up. Small enough to carry and tough enough to travel. 

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. This paper isn't a fan of getting wet and a splash will make the pages warp. If they get soaked, the paper itself will start to break down. The binding will hold up fine, but the pages won't stand a chance.
