Onna bugeisha Journal Cover, - a keepsake for the female warriors out there XXX

There are links below to the videos that show how to make the leather look card and to - how to make the interchangeable internal journals.

These lovely items improve with use. I have continued to polish them with shoe polish to keep a strong water-resistant finish and the additional applications of polish just enhance the patina of the piece.

This is a long video that really shows all the processes and the design considerations that are made. There are time stamps below the text to help you keep track and also give you the chance to pause and return to the same spot in the future.

For the interchangeable journals that go inside this cover - Please see the Video link to - Handmade Journal Using the Leather-Look Card and French Link Stitched signatures. - Video Link - youtu.be/6FPjNuTfpB4
