Leather & Circles Blank Reclaimed Calligraphy Paper Journal

Description

A few years ago, I received a beautiful invitation to my uncle’s 70th birthday. It had these amazing circular patterns. I liked it so much I kept it and knew I would eventually use it to create something. This notebook has 88 sheets reclaimed from an old calligraphy notebook I found at my mother’s studio. I’ve included a picture of the notebook cover for reference. It should give you an idea of how old the paper is.

The binding is sewn with a single wax linen cord and covered with genuine leather tacked to the book boards. The boards are reclaimed from backs of notebooks.

The metal circles are jewelry findings. I have so many of those!!

The closure is improvised with a grommet and leather.

The book corners were actually purchased.
