Hey guys!
Here it is! My custom art journal commissions!!
I'm going to begin this journal by stating that everything here is hand made! ok, almost everything. I don't make the leather myself.
BUT I hand cut the paper, hand sew the paper into the binding, hand cut the leather to see and hand bind the journal!
these are meant to be artist journals. none are currently lined! I can have lined paper if you specify that you want it!
Each journal is 100% unique. No two will be the same.
Prices very based on what you want. I can work with you if you are on a budget!
Prices start at $20 and go up from there based on what you want
I'll be using my own personal journal as an example.

has paper that is 5 1/2 inches by 7 inches.
it has Canson 98lbs 160gms mixed media paper<da:thumb id="1442665737391449"/>,
