This large custom leather sketchbook would be great as an art journal, daily journal, creative writing book, genealogy log book or book of shadows. This hardback book measure 9" x 6" and is made entirely by hand with whatever design you'd like on the front cover. Do you want flowers everywhere? A logo? Celtic knotwork? If you have an image, you can upload the file below (no copyright infringement or people/portraits) or if you just have an idea, let me know and we'll figure it out.

Choose the color you would like (I have a wide variety of leather dyes and acrylics), no limits on how many colors are used (pick different colors for the design, a rainbow of dyes for the cover, or stick with one color and highlighting or outlining for the main designs).

For the design on this leather journal, you can choose an overall basic design (like flowers or vines) or a single complicated design (logo, Celtic knotwork imagery, a sailing ship, etc.), plus lettering on the front cover. Lettering along the spine or a design and/or lettering on the back cover is available at an additional charge.

Please note the color, design (if you don't have an image to upload) and any lettering or wording in the personalization box below.

Designing the "perfect" leather journal can take some time and a bit of back and forth so please be aware of this when you order.

Oversized leather wedding guest book, Book of Wishes, wedding journal, or personal journal. This is a large 10" x 10" softcover leather book with your choice of design and/or lettering on the cover. Includes 100 pages of white drawing paper, good for a wide variety of inks and sturdy enough to add photos, if desired.

This leather journal is completely handmade from hand-dyed veg-tanned leather, carved and tooled using traditional leatherworking methods. You can choose a snap (black, silver or gold color), a grosgrain ribbon (I have a variety of colors and can send you a sample photo if needed) or a leather strap with a buckle or as a wraparound.

This book includes one major design and lettering on the front cover as well as a closure. Colored pastel paper, more printing on the pages, tea staining and lined paper are available for an additional cost.

Steampunk leather sketchbook or journal 6.75" x 5.25" (portrait or landscape) with your choice of leather color (hand dyed), copper, brass, watch parts, tubing, epoxy clay, velvet, vintage parts/jewelry/cabinet hardware, paper. This leather journal has 200 pages of white or tea-stained drawing paper. The design offered here includes one major Steampunk element and multiple minor embellishments to "complete" the design. The major Steampunk element can be an artist-designed clockwork element as seen in the photos, a hand carved/tooled design (airship, watch/clock, gears, octopus, etc.), or other various /recycled/upcycled parts (gears, clock/watch parts, typewriter parts, glass vials, glass fuses, etc.). I'll work with you to figure out what you're looking for and then produce something that fits as closely as possible (I do need some artistic "license" in producing certain designs, especially the clockwork and recycled elements; tooled designs can be determined fairly specific).

Other elements can be added, additional pages, larger or smaller book size, major design elements can be combined (a carved design and a clockwork element), initials or lettering on the spine or covers, quotes inside the book, more embellishments, etc. for an additional cost. Please contact me to discuss all the possibilities.
