Handmade & leather bound & tres chic mini journal just cool enough to go with that shade of sizzling red lip stick. Made from natural finish leather with a de rigueur black strap (complimented with a naughty red leather loop on the spine) and some rather stylish original artwork on the inside covers, there's more than ample pages (96) to fill with the most discreet (or indiscreet) scribbling a girl could conjure. Not another one like it anywhere on the planet, this slick little journal/diary only lends to the image you've so carefully constructed -Measures 4" x 3" x 1' of natural finish leather -Hand-cut & trimmed into stylish fold-over design -33" hand-cut black leather strap, adjustable & removable -Strap secured by complimentary red leather loop on spine -Inside covers feature original serigraphic artwork in B&W, 'art' deco mode -Four hand stitched signatures of Folio white fine art/printmaking paper -Signatures stitched with waxen linen thread -96 hand torn pages with deckle edge -Finished with European head bands and your journal maker's signature

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

For Custom Made To Order Leather Cover For Any Version Bible With Rebinding (296)I’m extremely happy with the finished product! My bible arrived today and the leather cover is so beautiful, exactly what I pictured. I have no words to describe how happy I am with it. This is something that will stay with me for life and Michael did an amazing job, I highly recommend him to others.

For Handmade leather journalI was very impressed, not only with the leather journal, but with the communication by the maker. I wasn't expecting to receive such prompt replies, considering I live in another country and time zone. Michael is lovely and I will definitely be coming back to do more projects in the future.
I can't recommend Michael any higher to anyone wanting a handmade leather diary.
Thank you Michael!
