This hard-back journal features an original marbled paper on its covers. All our marbled papers and books are carefully handmade in our London studio. The paper for this journal was marbled with the Slate & Metallics colourway, available in the indicated patterns below. Lucy McGrath, founder of Marmor Paperie, drew inspiration for this colourway straight from the beauty of the natural world; neutral slate and sand fold into warm rust and inky black with metallic copper and gold accents. Durable We use acrylic paint for its durability and brightness. The paint won’t rub off or dissolve but, because we don't use mass-manufacturing treatments, the papers are not coated. We recommend keeping them away from water where possible to avoid warping or bubbling. Materials & Dimensions Each book contains 240 pages (120 leaves), made from lovely ivory-toned Italian paper, with subtle narrow lines. All our books are constructed by hand using thick greyboard for sturdy, quality covers. A5 books: 21.5cm x 15cm x 1.9cm
