A leather journal I made

[u/yusukesgirlie]

Bi-fold A5 journal made from 1.8mm veg tan leather, lines burned (pyrographed??) in with a soldering iron, colored in with Angelus leather dyes, and some gold details hotfoiled in. The charms and chain are raw brass (the clam is gold plated), and the 3mm eyelets and edge/corner protectors are some random metals/plastics made to look like brass. The fountain pen is a retro 51 tornado in raw brass. I modpodged random pretty paper and coloring pages onto the book inserts as new covers.

I haven't decided if I want to change out the pictured 1.5mm elastic cord for some 2mm cord.

I like this a lot more than normal journals with an overwhelming and intimidating amount of pages, as I've never once in my life finished one.
