Medieval-bound wrap leather journals—faking the look and feel of hand-pulled paper using wood rasps to "sand" the edges of the pages soft, ragged, and irregular, instead of the straight-cut block. The toothbrush is for clearing away crumbs and fragments.
I think the idea of velvets and brocades and even tatty muslin and whatever would be really interesting: plenty of intriguing versions of ye-olde, both luxurious and maybe stark...the idea of plain muslin or cotton etc. really interests me, maybe stained with tea or something natural...hmmm.
Did you see the pic I posted in comments, above, of the small journals covered in bits of tapestries and brocades, what are probably upholstery fabrics?
