This hand-sewn journal has beautiful Chiyogami Japanese paper on the covers with white and sliver flowers. The white flowers have sparkly silver centers on the blue background. The inside covers have a dark blue paper. I sewed the book in the coptic stitch with blue linen thread.  This sewing style allows the book to open completely flat for easy writing or drawing. Inside are 128 blank pages of Fabriano 75 lb. drawing paper. SIZE is 5.5 square.
