This handbound blank book has a cover featuring an upcycled burlap bag from basmati rice. Part of a series of journals called "Bodega Books" which were inspired by a desire to re-use some of the beautiful and colorful product packaging I grew up observing when I went shopping at ethnic grocery stores with my father.

The pages are tea stained using a loose leaf black tea. Contains a total of 56 heavy-weight pages, the original paper use is a 65 lb cardstock. As the paper dries after being immersed in the tea it crinkles and waves, creating some charming irregular spots and discoloration, with an overall warm tone. You'll love the satisfying soft crinkles the pages make as you turn the pages. The binding is coptic, with the stitching exposed on the spine of the book. The thread used is a heavy waxed linen. It measures approximately 5"x7".

Perfect for use as a journal, scrapbook, or even prop the tea stained pages and burlap cover makes the journal appear old and antiqued.

This book is made to order and will take about 7-14 days to make. The book pictured is an example and has already been sold -- the pattern on the bag varies wildly so your cover will likely be different then what is pictured.
