Big Maple Leaf Celtic Weave Sketchbook

Description

This sketchbook is wrapped in a fun dark tan paper with lighter tan maple leaves on it. This paper is another great handmade paper and it has just a slight bit of texture to it when you rub your fingers over it.
The inside end sheets are a great natural colored paper with fun gold flecks (which look like brown flecks in the photo) that goes great with the maple leaves on the covers.

This book was sewn with two Celtic Weave stitching stations and one Coptic. The Celtic Weave functions like a Coptic in that it will open and lay completely flat, while adding a great decorative and structural element to the book. Each sewing station is just shy of 1" or 2cm wide. The book was sewn with hand waxed Irish linen thread. On the top cover all the stitching is all green, while the back cover has four white and two green holes.
Each sewing hole has a eyelet to make them stronger, I'm tempted to call them a metallic burgundy brown. The color is hard to describe but they look awesome on the sketchbook.

The text block is made from Fabriano artist paper that is 160g/m2. It is a very thick & toothy art paper that can handle any amount of ink or the wettest of watercolors. The paper is acid free archival quality. The text block measure 8.25"x5.75" or 21cmX15cm. The text block is 40 single or 80 double sided pages.

The covers are 8.5"x6" or 21.5cmX15.5cm and the book is 1" or 2.5cm tall.

I love custom orders! If you like this style but not this book please send me a message and we can change the covers, colors, add sections/pages, change the size, whatever you desire!

This book will ship priority mail domestically and first class internationally.
