Oversized  Monogram  Journal

This large journal measures 16" tall by 12" wide (see photo below of me holding the book to get a sense of the scale).  It was created as a gift for a daughter's 23rd birthday.  This book had about 150 unlined pages.  The cover has the daughter's intitals intertwined monogram-style and raised on the surface of the cover.  The cover is burgundy pigskin leather and the front and back have raised panels to give the cover a "framed" look.  The corners, lettering on the spine, and cross on the back cover were all stamped in antique gold foil.  The intitals themselves were gold-leafed and sealed with gold leaf sealer.  This is definitely the largest journal I've ever done!

A book like this would cost around $325.
