Indigo Secret Belgian Variation Blank Journal

Indigo Secret Belgian Variation Blank Journal has a 6" x 9" (152.4mm x 228.6mm) 100% Cotton writing surface. This book is as lay-flat as a sketchbook or journal as you can get. This paper takes pencil, ink, and other print media with no bleed through to the other side. The inside features an aquamarine blue Bugra paper to go with the Irish Linen thread.

This is my go-to notebook for all things important to me and the bindery studio.

Hand-bound with a Secret Belgian (Crisscross) binding structure variation with six passes or bands instead of one for a unique writing and drawing experience.

Secret Belgian binding, also known as crisscross binding, is a bookbinding technique that uses two types of sewing. The result is a distinct thread pattern on the book's cover and spine.

More About Bugra Paper:
Hahnemuhle mould-made Bugra papers, named after the Book and Graphics trade fair in Leipzig in the 1920s. Produced on a cylinder mould machine with genuine deckle edges. It is a 100% alpha cellulose, duo-surface paper, with a laid, toothy texture on one side, and a smooth texture on the other, which gives it its distinctive surface.
