Venezia - Supple Rusty/Artisan Paper/Padlock

The Venezia is a lovely size for serious writers, artists, musicians, or those who just need plenty of room to express themselves. This 7.5”x10” journal contains 100 pages of the acid-free Artisan cotton paper. It’s my most versatile, and is ideal for lightwatercolor, and for writing or sketching with any type of pen, pencil, or charcoal. (Note: this and the bamboo are the best papers for use with micro-tips or fountain pens.) This book features a repurposed antique icebox hinge closure from the late 1800’s. It is attached with hand-hammered copper rivets. Securing the book is an antique padlock that comes with a beautiful working key. Though the padlock is functional, it is meant to be treated as decoration.
