Oscar Wilde moon quote. tan leather journal or sketchbook. hand bound. 320 pages.

Description

Beauty is a form of genius - is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon.
~ Oscar Wilde

With a name like Moon Bindery, it's only natural to offer a moon journal/sketchbook! The first page of this one comes with the above quote by Oscar Wilde, and a reproduction of a 19th century Japanese print. The rest of the pages are blank--ready to fill with your own thoughts, ideas, drawings....

I made this handbound journal with a lovely, glossy tan goatskin, using the natural edge of the hide, so the front edge has a very natural look, and a lovely, soft, tactile feel. It has a soft sided, wrap-around design with matching strap to protect the pages. I used Irish linen thread to create a medieval style binding with exposed stitching on outer spine.

The open book lays flat, making it easy to use. High quality 50 lb sketch paper, acid free and archival. Pages are hand-torn for old-world feeling. Perfect for writing, drawing with pencil, pen, charcoal and pastel.

*Unlined pages for unlimited uses
*4 3/4” x 6” (12.1 cm x 15.2 cm)
*320 pages (counting both sides)
*Lightweight and portable
*Wonderful journal, sketchbook, travel book, business notebook, guest book
*Comes with a signed note explaining the hand book binding process, makes a unique gift

I make all my books using traditional, old-world binding methods in my studio, located in a 1922 Craftsman-style house overlooking the river and mountains in British Columbia, Canada.
