A5 Journal/Sketchbook, with hand waxed leather covers and matching tie.  Dark green marbled endpapers, with green satin ribbon and green/white headbands.  Plain cream paper, acid free and suitable for all inks. 

 

This is a lovely book, but I managed to tear the paper when I was trimming the endpapers, resulting in the damage that you can see here,  in the back of the book.  It's only small damage really, but makes it a second nonetheless.  

Selling at cost - £15 plus £3.50 p&p.  Please email your order to blackthornworkshops@gmail.com

 


 A7 with red marbled endpapers.  SOLD

Small, perfect for pockets.  Lined pages make this ideal for quick notes.  This one is a prototype, and has the marbled endpapers backed onto white, which I think stiffens them just a little too much to be perfect.  I also managed to mark the edges just slightly with a small dye stain (see below) when doing the edges.  Brown and cream headbands, a lovely little book. 

£5 plus £1.50 P&P.  Please email blackthorn.workshops@gmail.com to order.

 

 

 

A5 Quarter bound journal with hand dyed goat skin

 

A sacrifice to the god of trying things out!  This book is gorgeous and almost flawless, I was very proud of it until I realised that I had set the endpapers too tight, so the book is stiff to open and tends to pul away from the spine.  Would be a perfect and grand looking scribbling companion for the right person.  Selling at cost. 

Brown and white headbands.

Red ribbon.

 Plain endpapers.

Waxy leather with raised bands and smart corners 

Lovely, lovely book. 

  I just got a little enthusiastic when paring down the leather on the spine for the raised bands, and as a result there is some wrinkling to the leather where it's pasted down.  It's a real pity because this is a gorgeous book!  In honour of it being nice, I added smart gold effect corners even though I knew it was going to be a second.  Although I don't think I can charge full price for this one, I'm sure someone will love it.  I hope so...  Lined pages. 

 

See the wrinkling... :(
