Leather Journal "Positive Patient Persistant", Owls, Vintage Paper, 18x13 cm

Book of the Wise Owl

This journal's cover is crafted from high-quality, dark brown genuine buffalo leather, which has been vegetable-tanned. The entire front cover is adorned with detailed and deep embossing. The central motif is the inscription "I will be Positive Patient & Persistant". Arranged around it are symbols of wisdom and the night – several differently stylised owls, a crescent moon, stars, and lotus flowers. The whole piece has the feel of a magical tome. The journal closes with a leather strap and a robust, antiqued-brass-coloured metal clasp (a C-hook or swing hook). The spine features a prominent cross-stitch binding in light brown thread.

Paper from an Ancient Library

What makes this journal truly exceptional is its paper. Inside, you'll find 100 leaves (200 pages) of handmade paper, which has been intentionally crafted with a deep, yellow patina. The paper is unlined, has a very rough, fibrous texture, and uneven, deckled edges. Each page is an original and looks like centuries-old parchment, giving your entries an incredibly authentic appearance.

For Mages and Optimists

Thanks to its appearance and motto, this journal is ideal as a:

• Motivational journal or gratitude log.
• Grimoire or Book of Shadows for your magical practice.
• Chronicle for your LARP or RPG character (mage, witch, herbalist).
• Personal diary for preserving thoughts and dreams.
• Sketchbook for dry media (pencil, charcoal, crayons).

Important Notice and Care

Paper Warning: This handmade paper is rough and absorbent. It is unlined and ideal for ballpoint pens, pencils, or crayons. We do not recommend using fountain pens or watercolours, as they will bleed and feather heavily on this paper.

Leather Care: Protect the journal from water and excessive moisture. If the leather gets damp, let it air-dry slowly. For maintenance, you can very sparingly treat the leather with a conditioner (e.g., beeswax-based), but be aware that any oil-based product will alter (usually darken) the patina's character.
