Steampunk Leather Longstitch Journal and Handmade Abaca Paper

Hello everyone! Remember this picture from the last post?

Well, at long last, here's a closer look at the book on the bottom. It's a leather journal bound with longstitch, and I hope it gives off a somewhat steampunk vibe:

Now I just need to fill it, I suppose...
And here's a preview for a project I'll be working on this week. All of this is handmade abaca paper, and the pulp for each one was beaten for a different amount of time. The little tag on the top that says "7" means that I beat that stack's pulp for seven hours. If you're curious, the different time periods were, in hours, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 2.5, 4, 5, 6, and 7. This week I'm going to work on binding them into a book!
