Full leather bindings filled with watercolor paper

A full blooded Properly Made Book, beautiful and practical, made to be used in the creation of fine art, especially drawing, calligraphy and painting.

Lino printed, hand coloured leather and blind tooling cover this binding. Created using a similar process to printing on paper, printing on leather is a complex and time consuming technique. 

Size - 5⅛ x 4 inches, 134 x 103 mm

Inside, the binding is filled with160 pages of natural white, slightly textured watercolor paper, perfect for paints, inks and pencil work.

The foredges have been painted to match the dyed leather, the edges of the boards blind tooled in a decorative pattern.

As with all Properly Made Books , this notebook opens totally flat

and even beyond flat (the photo above showing the covers folded effortlessly back a full 360 degrees) ensuring it will withstand years of rigorous real-life, every day use.
