New Criteria for 2022

8/31/2021

Comments

 
I saw someone carrying and using a leather covered bullet journal. I fell in love, So I ordered one,. It took almost two weeks or research before I settled on:

Unika
A5 Refillable Leather Journal

The logo sold me.
It also meant that I would be moving back into an A5 book for 2022.
​The journal cover came with a book inside. Here are the pen tests.

Front & Back
As you can see, of all the inks & mediums I used, only the Sharpie bled through to the back.

​Then I broke the spine of the notebook and all hell broke loose. The signatures became misaligned and the smoothness of the edges became rough and uneven.

It was also THICK.

Measurements:
1 1/8” thick (3 cm/ 30 mm) compared to a Nanami A5 (9/16” / 1.5 cm / 15 mm)
However, I tried several other notebooks in the cover and they worked just fine.(pictured below is the cover and an Artist's Loft hardback book. (measuring; (11/16” / 1.8 cm/ 18 mm) 

​I did, however, commission a friend to add some elastics so I could use it as a traveller's notebook. I am in absolute love!
