Green Blossoms Leather Journal

This journal and it's counterpart, the Blue Mums Leather Journal, were my first set of blank journals made with a "laced on board" construction. If you don't know what that is and want to find out, there's a process video on my Instagram showing it: Here

The spine decoration was done by me by hand with individual heated brass tools. It also has hand sewn headbands in white silk thread.

The inside paper is my personal favorite to write on. It's a premium paper called Mohawk Superfine that has a 25% cotton content and a fancy eggshell texture. I like to write with fountain pens and it's my go to. The texture grabs the tip of my pen and just gives a really lovely writing experience.

This journal will lay mostly flat while writing but might need a little coaxing. The journal isn't cosmetically perfect, which is why I have it priced more affordably. The endpages don't fully extend over the textblock (shown in the last photo) and some of the gold tooling is patchy in places (the gold stamp on the 2nd panel of the spine turned out a bit wonky), but the journal itself is structurally sound and will last a long time.
