This may be the best journal I will ever have. Paul found it for me in Dublin last week.Appearances are deceiving in this case.
The book is made from slate and is quite heavy. It won't be the journal I pop into my purse so I can write and doodle in it at a cafe. I am looking for a great place in my studio to display it.
I love the leather binding. This is a stitch I would like to try on something else.
The detail compels you to run your fingers across the cover. The back is quite beautiful as well. I am tempted to try and make a mold from one of the roses. No rush. This journal is here for the long run.Hope Saturday is good to you friends! These are my Crafty Blogger Links for the Week!
