This a OOAK handmade journal and there is only one like it on Earth!
The covers of this journal are decorated with a hand stitched panel of wool longstitch embrodrie. The colours are mostly shades of blue and purple. The picture is that of a country scene with a path leading to a cottage in the woods. The spine and stitching of the book are decorated with a tassel of beaded macrame knotting with eight strings of beads as shown in the photos.
The method of binding used for this book which is very strong and sturdy, also allows it to open completely flat for writing, pasting or sketching just like it does with coptic binding. .
COUNTING PAGES:
When I list the number of pages in a book, I am referring to one side of each leaf. For example, in a book with numbered pages, Page 17 would be on one side of the leaf or piece of paper, Page 18 on the other side. Therefore, a book with 224 pages would have 112 leaves.
