As a writer and wanderer, I think this is the perfect size-- 6.5 x 5.25, aprox 80 pages-- and weight to carry while traveling. The leather is durable and the closure secure (no fussing with dangling or tangled wrap tie!). Take it with you!
Materials
> About the endpaper: Amate Bark, dark
Amate Bark paper is handmade in Mexico by the Otomi Indians as it was in the 1300's. The bark comes from downed Fig and Mulberry trees. It is collected, washed in stream water, and boiled in limewater until the fiber is pliable, then beaten and sun-dried. Amate is acid-free and rich with texture and personality.
> About the paper: Zerkall Ingres, light green
Ingres is a type of paper named after the Neoclassical French painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. The surface is a delicate balance between toothy and smooth finish, excellent for drawing, caligraphy, pencil, and pastels. Mouldmade in Germany by Zerkall, the Ingres is watermarked with 'INGRES' and the Zerkall lion. It is made of 100% high alpha cellulose, has a neutral pH, and a laid surface. At 90 gsm, this beautiful green-brown paper is lightweight yet strong enough to absorb ink on both sides without showing through or bleeding.
Zerkall Renker & Sohne paper mill, run by the Renker family in its fourth generation, dates from 16th century in the valley of the river Kall between Cologne and Aachen. Although the mill now only manufactures mouldmade papers, their sheets mirror papers of the past while incorporating modern technology to insure stability and permanence. All their papers are acid free, neutral sized, alkaline buffered with calcium carbonate and contain no optical brighteners.
> About the leather: Stoned Oil Cowhide, café au lait.
This leather has a deep richness because it has been treated with oils, waxes and dyes in such a way that when the leather is pulled or stretched, the finish becomes lighter in the stretched areas, which gives an "Old World" effect or "aged" look. The color returns when heat or friction from rubbing a cloth or your hand is applied in that area. This is considered a mark of high quality.
> About the closure: vintage tiger's eye button
Leather secures around a small button, stitched to the back cover. The more you handle this journal, the more pliable and supple the leather becomes without stretching, so the button closure remains secure.
Hand bound with 4-ply waxed Irish linen thread.

This is aBuzz and Bloom march project
In march was my best friend's birthday, and I wanted to make her something special that will last for a whole year! So I made a journal and a little tin box filled with 52 questions. Every week she will pick a question and answer in the journal. It's a kind of journal jar, but here it's a "journal box" !
I didn't feel like scrubbing my pork fried rice with chicken wings on this page! so instead i decorated it with chop sticks wrapping, the restaurant's menu and a crushed fortune cookie :) This page still needs some work.

I glued down a page sized magazine picture in my journal. I sponged acrylic paint (with water) to create the mist around her head. I drew some thick black and white lines to represent the scattering of my dream. The word 'dream' is made of bakery twine, stitched on the page.

Made some HeART art in my scrap journal. I think the theme will be HeART for this journal. Seems to be the path I'm taking.
This was made on one of the huge tags: acrylic paints mixed with a baby wipe, stencils and spray mists (I totally messed up and needed to cover some of it), handmade paper, Caran D'ache crayons (I love how they can be rubbed...), Staz-On inks. Fibers will be added at a later date.
