This hand-sewn journal has seashells on the front and back covers. The paper came from a Natural History papers book published by Pepin. I originally bought the paper at the Clarke Art Museum in Williamstown, MA. The journal is sewn in the coptic stitch with blue linen thread. This sewing style enables the book to open completely flat for easy diary entries or sketching. Inside covers are ocean light blue color. 112 text pages are high quality Strathmore drawing paper. SIZE is 6.5" x 4".
