Fauxskine

I don't usually use any of the blank books I make, it's akin to not really eating after making a gigantic meal. There's something in the effort that says, "this is for other people." I haven't been able to find a new sketchbook since coming to Asheville so I decided to try and make something for myself. After a lot of debate, laziness, and "meh"ing I whipped up: the Fauxskine. What makes it not a Moleskine is it's lack of page marker, lack of pocket in the back, cloth cover instead of leathery cover, and it's got grommets.

Nice book. what's the paper?
Did you find some great paper when you got back Jen? Looks great.
The paper is..."Borden & Riley #234 Bleedproof paper for pens" It's archival, extremely smooth, and 108lb, which is a pretty great weight.
I didn't find an great paper, but I did find a few stray sheets leftover from various drawing classes. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but better than nothing!
Oooo, grommets. =) Looks pretty kick-ass to me! I also really like the name...
