I'm just sooo impressed with the quality of work and the obvious amount of time you put into these. BEAUTIFUL! Anyone who owns one of these has a piece of art worth more than words can express.

It's really beautiful, especially the closing clasps! I wish it was bigger than 6x9...it's so much harder to find journals like this that are big.

Really beautiful, as usual!
Out of interest, how thick is the leather you use?

Thanks for the comment.
The leather is fairly thin. I shave it down to properly accommodate the book.

Interesting - I've been working with 1.5mm thick leather, and I think it's really too thick - I have to pare the edges for hours to get it thin enough (and paring knives are murder on the fingers... gives me blisters sometimes!)

BCcreativity In reply to Ochiru [2011-07-03 13:53:46 +0000 UTC]
I have my paring knives so sharp that it shaves through like butter. I also have a rhythm and style of holding the leather and knife so that the process goes rather quickly. The wonderful thing about leather is that the thickness can be exploited within certain areas of the book. Like sculpting.
