About this item
Note: This book was a sample I made to trial a thinner vintage fabric than I usually use which hasn't come out as smooth as I would like hence the sale price. Completely unique, Handcrafted A5 journal / sketchbook with 72 plain white pages. Made with care from high quality 130gsm smooth white paper which is hand cut, folded, stitched and bound, and then covered with genuine vintage cotton barkcloth fabric from the early 1950's. Each book I make includes a ribbon bookmark and coloured end-papers made from high quality Canford or Canson paper, hand picked to match one of the colours in the fabric design. This book has a beautiful deep red satin ribbon and matching Cansford 'Cherry' coloured end papers which can be seen in the second photo. The final picture shows the pattern placement on the back cover Suitable for a range of media including: Graphite pencil, coloured pencils, gell and rollerball pens. This book is a one-off, entirely hand made by me in my bookbinding and art studio in Oxfordshire. If you have any questions or special requests, please do get in touch. Coloured pencils (borrowed from husband) are not included :)

Beautiful barkcloth journal, lovingly packaged with a very thoughtful surprise. Intended as a gift but I may not be able to part with it. Linda is my favourite creator on Folksy
I loved this fabric as soon as I saw it and my pencil case is beautiful. Very well made and packaged with lots of care. I'm really delighted with my order, thank you
I returned for more gorgeousness and once again am absolutely thrilled. Thank you Linda for having the vision and talent to brighten our lives
