Leather Journal Handmade Pocket Travel Gift Diary Watercolor Art Notebook

Pretty and neat handmade leather journal of polished apricot color leather. I was able to salvage a matching piece of leather from a designer purse. I used it as a handsome lapel adornment giving this journal/diary a pocket book style look.

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

As sole proprietor at Studio of Visual Arts, I have been a professional illustrator and printmaker for 35 years. My illustrative work is represented in five Louisiana State Museums, countless corporate collections and has received numerous prestigious grants. NewSouthBooks was born as a natural extension of that same artisanship. I am now producing and marketing handmade, leather bound journals of quality and distinction, each journal a unique presentation with original artwork as adornment. All leather, new or old, is hand-cut and trimmed. I use only the highest quality fine art/printmaking paper (250w), hand stitching each signature. My leather journals are truly bound books using traditional book binding materials. Adding to the distinction is the incorporation of original artwork to inside covers and often, the middle signature. On this site, you'll see many examples of work previously completed for clientele. Just find me and we can discuss making one to suit your individual needs and taste

    Making this purchase was a breeze. It turned out to be a beautiful Bible that smells just as good as it looks. It has soft leather with a worn character feel. It is a 10/10 purchase. The one downside, that is not really a big deal, is that the strap is a lighter color, and it wraps both around the front and the back with short ends. It doesn't "tie" very good. I had the feeling it was one long strap that could be wrapped around several times with an easy tuck on the second or third wrap around the book. Besides this minor miscommunication in photos, it is an amazing Bible I will have for years. Thank you for the time and effort you put into crafting this Bible's exterior.

    We received your journal & it's absolutely wonderful. You're a class act - from the way the journal was packaged to the quality of the journal. My husband is very happy, and so am I. The page quality is exquisite, not to mention the binding and leather work. We'll be repeat customers.
    Thank you so very much!
