hand marbled journal

Here's a sturdy little 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" hardcover coptic journal, one of the latest in my new marbled paper series. I created this marbled paper myself, using old school ink flotation techniques to create a one of a kind sheet of blue, green and white marbled paper.

 

I hand-sewed the book using extremely strong waxed Irish linen thread, and the cover even has cute little metal grommets, which prevent the thread from wearing a groove in the cover.

 

The endpapers are also marbled, in a different style called Suminagashi where black Japanese ink is floated on water, then blown around to create these swirly topographic patterns.
