I love this journal, it has lovely paper and is for me the best size. It’s big enough that I can write what I bought it for with plenty of room for illustrations or decorative touches, I can use pens, markers, watercolors or watercolor pencils and alcohol ink markers (I carefully removed a page to swatch with). I found it’s pretty resistant to bleed through so long as not saturated and the colors all remain true to media. The print is beautiful, as shown in photos, and is crisp and clear. It feels sturdy, appears to be well made and durable. I have plans to make a removable cover so I can customize it easily as my mood changes, but still remove it. I love shopping with Fantasy Art Trading, I’m always very happy with my purchases, shipping is fantastic and customer service is wonderful. Now to just find a way to fund my obsession with all these things I love and want to buy…
