FREEDOM JOURNAL
PAPER
Each size journal contains 200 hand torn pages (back/front). The paper is a hearty 67 lb. ivory colored vellum (What is vellum?)
card stock that gives the journal a wonderful thickness. Due to its hand torn nature, paper may be slightly uneven and jagged,
causing a wonderfully rustic and aged look.
- Color: Ivory
- Thickness: 67 lb. card stock (32 lb. card stock when extra pages are purchased to prevent journal bulkiness)
- Details: acid & lignin free (archival quality)
- Unlined paper (lined paper available for $5)
This journal is refillable! Click here for details!
BINDING/SHAPING METHOD
Your journal is made completely from scratch in our shop (so we know that it's made correctly); we start with a hand cut piece of
leather and heavy weight card stock glued together for a strong structure. We then shape the binding and hand stitch all the pages
directly to the leather with heavyweight binding thread. This thread is ideal because it allows for a good amount of stretch without
breaking and prevents the pages from tearing out over time. Also if the journal does break for some reason, we do free repairs for
the life of the journal!
SIZES
Small - 3" x 5"
Medium - 5" x 6"
Large - 6" x 9"
X-Large - 9 x 11.5"

| I am truly impressed by your work, your ethics and your generosity...I would like to promote your business and let everyone interested know about you. My granddaughter received her journal and loves it. She was so happy...I can't tell you how much this has meant to me... Marchita J. ~ Trout Creek, MT ~ June 2009 |
| I just wanted to let you know that I received the journal today. I am ecstatic! This is the finest piece of craftsmanship that i could ever ask for. The embossing is brilliant and seems to jump off the page in sort of a 3D effect. The piece as a whole is amazing. Thanks so much for all the help you have provided me in this process. Because of your impeccable customer service, if I ever have need of services like this again, of should anyone i know need a custom piece i will be sending them your way. Tyler R. ~ Tuscaloosa, AL ~ October 2009 |
