Exterior***

The back is clad in dark red shiny leather fiber fabric - that the cord pushes slightly through the leather is only proof of a robust bond.
The cover paper is a hand-marbled paper by Dodin from Israel (Handmarbledpaper Dodin) with brown, white and blue colors. Fittingly, the top of the book block is decorated - blue with white speckles. Absolute eye-catcher!
The metal corners protect the book from impacts and general wear during transport in the bag.
Simple capitals handmade by me in two colors add a not unimportant detail.
92 pages thick artist drawing paper promise a good result with different drawing tools - but it is not necessarily suitable for watercolor! I designed the pages - perfect as a background for writing or drawing. The thickness of the book is convenient for the hand to work.
The journal can be completely open - at any point!

Machart***

The Franzband is a binding in which the cover is not produced seperat and in the last step is fixed only to the book block, but the book is constructed as a unit and the cover is produced on the book. Thus, the connection between the book block and the cover is particularly strong and durable! In the last photo you can see a few steps and what the book looked like without cover. The final step here is really the paper that you see at the end. Normal books are simply hung in their cover, here the gauze and the cord are glued between cardboard and cover material and thus absolutely firmly connected. In addition, unevenness is compensated with extra paper, so that you get a book at the end without unsightly impressions. This type of binding is more complex and cannot be made by machines. A fine hand cover that will last a long time!
