This hand-sewn journal is sewn in the coptic stitch with red linen thread.  The book opens in the landscape direction and would be great as a small sketchbook or could be used as a diary.    I put in extra pages (160 blank pages) of the  Strathmore drawing paper.  Front and back is covered with my red and blue marbled paper that has lots of swirls.  Inside cover is plain red paper and size is 6" x 4".
