It was once thought that cranes embodied the spirits of people who were paying penance for their misdemeanours in life. They exist in many mythologies around the world and are often associated with justice. In some traditions they are credited with rescuing children, taking care of the poor and even bringing murderers to justice!

This traditional pair of Celtic cranes appear to be in confrontation but perhaps they are just comparing heights.

This hand carved and hand stitched leather journal or sketchbook slipcover belongs in my 'Celtic' range.

All Old Barn Leather journal covers come complete with an appropriately sized notebook.

This product is made to order and so can be dyed to the colour of your choice.

All our products are hand crafted. That means that these hand-carved and hand-stitched refillable leather covers can be personalised.

It is usually possible to add detail to any of our journal covers, such as a name, initials or a date. This makes it a unique gift that will last a lifetime. If this is something that would interest you, let me know by filling in the form in the checkout section.
