Notebooks
Every notebook, journal and sketchbook is built from scratch, with some featuring original linocut prints.
Handprinted lotus notebook
Handmade A5 lined paper notebook with 176 pages.
The cover features an original linocut print of a lotus flower, drawn, carved and printed by me on Shoji rayon paper using Ironbridge Caribbean Sea ink. This washi paper includes silvery, decorative fibres in the traditional Japanese Unryu style. Also known as ‘cloud dragon’ paper, the long fibres seem to float in the paper.
The spine and back are lined with airforce blue Japanese silk book cloth. Inside, the endpapers are made with GF Smith Colorplan Extracted (made from 100% recycled fibres) in Twilight and the paper is lined and made from 90gsm Munken Pure - Smooth Ivory. It includes a deep pink ribbon.
Printmaking with lino is a manual craft that requires specialist tools and inks. The nature of the process means that each print is unique and may feature some speckling. This is part of what makes this artform so beautiful.
I make every notebook by hand, from folding and sewing the internal papers together to make the 'text block' through to selecting and cutting papers and book cloth, which I then use to build the final covers. Each notebook is unique and there may be slight variations from the book shown in photos. However, the photos do show each key aspect of the book to help you see what you are buying.
I only make a handful of notebooks at a time so if this is out of stock I will get in touch to discuss making one for you. This will increase the delivery time as the book takes a few days to construct, the glue to dry and the book to press flat.
All notebooks are posted in a protective book envelope.
