This sketchbook was created for a friend who makes pottery and jewelry.  I wanted to do something in 2-tone leather in an Arts and Crafts style.  This friend likes insects and Celtic designs.  This book has pages that are roughly 11" tall by 9" wide.  The pages consist of heavy, acid-free sketchpaper in an off-white natural color.  The book is roughly 3/4 of an inch thick.  The cover is dark brown goatskin leather and British Tan Sokoto goatskin leather.  I think these colors look particularly lovely together.  The spine is accented with raised bands and a square Celtic knot design stamped in copper stamping foil.  The front cover has a blind stamped image of a dragonfly.

A book like this would cost around $345.
