I'm getting back to loving the chunky weighty journals that have a weight in your hand that is unmistakable.
This is a journal similar to the Big Blue Journal that I have on my website. the difference here is that it's a deep dark almost black blue colored deer hide. It's so soft and smooth it's amazing. I used natural Irish linen thread tosew it up. It's sewn to stations in a pattern of diamonds and wings. The backing paper is a fibery paper that matches the navy blue almost perfectly. It has 340 pages of 24lb Strathmore paper. I love this paper. It's perfect for writingand has a nice tooth for drawing and it will take a lot of abuse- light watercolor washes, glue and it will even handle my fountain pen.

Comfortable Shoes Studio is the name of my little studio in Beverly, Massachusetts; here I paint large watercolors, smaller acrylics, and mostly bind books and journals. I specialize in custom bound journals and sketchbooks with adhesive-free sewing in which the sewing is visible and decorative on the spine. If you're interested please email me!

Thanks!
