This hand-sewn journal is covered with a paper called lime green pearlized grasses that I bought at Washi Arts Japanese paper store. The book is sewn with a contrasting grey linen thread in the coptic stitch binding. The 160 blank pages of this book open flat for writing or drawing. Inside endpapers are a coordinating silver paper. I used a high quality Strathmore drawing paper for the text block. SIZE is 4” X 4”. This is a small but nice and chunky journal.
