Large Handbound Art Journal Destination The World

via Large Handbound Art Journal Destination The World on Handmade Artists’ Shop.

This nice sized 8.5″ x 11″ handbound book can be used for so much! The pages inside can hold up to most all media to include altered art! I’ve made the spine a little wider to accommodate a little page warping if wet media is used or you choose to paste photos or other goodies inside.

It has been covered in a wonderful fabric depicting Big Ben, Statue of Liberty, Leaning Tower of Pisa the Eiffel Tower and the Great Pyramids which have a lovely watercolor look.

Inside you will find alternating sections of 140# watercolor paper and 100# tagboard 48 pages of each (front & back). It has been buttonhole bound with a sunny orange handwaxed cotton thread which has been gathered at the spine with a pretty cloisonne’ bead.
