I only made 10, a few sold at the recent fair we exhibited at, the rest are now available online, and if you hurry I can ship them out this week, just in time for Christmas delivery. Each journal is hand bound with hemp paper, comes with a hand cut leather bookmark and a solid brass nameplate which can be personalised with initials. I loved making these, although I found the wool a bit difficult to work with, they did turn out lovely in the end. Hope you like them 📖 (Link in bio) www.lotusblubookart.com/one-of-a-kind-journals/harris-tweed . . . #lotusblubookart #harristweedauthority #harristweedjournal #rusticjournals #authenticdesign #creativewriting #menwhojournal #menwhowrite #poetrycommunity #writersofinstagram #madeinyorkshire #makeitbritish @harristweed_harris @harristweedauthority Delicate Redouté floral prints on the endpapers of the two journals from my last post.

Ready to ship for Christmas. www.lotusblubookart.com/one-of-a-kind-journals . . . #britishtextileart #bookbinding #britishleather #journaling #handmadejournals #lotusblubookart #floraljournals #handmadepaper #creativejournaling #deardiary #fabricjournal #leatherjournal #beautifuljournals #uniquegifts #hemppaper #raisedcords #bookarts Out of all my art journal collections, The Storyteller is my favourite to make, and the part I look forward to the most is applying shell gold to the deckled edges of the handmade cotton rag paper. I love the well loved look of the covers, inspired by a couple of old Persian inlay boxes that belonged to my late grandmother Edna May, bought during the 70’s on a road trip she took with my grandfather and their kids (including @parveenpkh) all the way from England to Pakistan (the hippy trail through eastern Europe and Central Asia) countries I long to visit. I love the uneven edges, the size of these journals and the fact that they just look better with use. Thank you for loving them as much as I do and for all the orders you send my way.
