Hi Buechertiger
The paper in the book is watercolour paper, it was a bit too heavy really, but it was all I had to hand at the time. As for the closure, I have since trimmed the extra leather off the back cover as it was too short to wrap around. This book was made from an off cut, scrap piece of leather so I was limited to the length available. I am currently working on closures, so keep an eye out and when I have pictures they will go up on the blog.

Thanks for taking the time to leave me comments

Billie :)

The leather looks good and I am a fan of thick quadratic book. The choice of thread give a nice overall look.
What paper did you use on the inside?
And does the book have a closure? On the second picture it looks like the leather might wrap around. Does it stay shut on its own?
