Rainy days hold no sway with a colourful Sketchbook or Journal trusty companion bound in Spring's most hopeful colours by your side. Mustard, Lemon Yellow, Lilac, Bright Green and Coral take centre stage in this shop update. My personal favourite is the Duck Egg & Lemon Yellow Leather Journal / Sketchbook. What's your favourite? Please leave a comment below, I'd be interested to know what you think! But first, keep reading for all the details and some images.
A6 Leather Sketchbook: Mustard Yellow & Lilac with watercolour paper, £99
Some of the colourful new sketchbooks are bound with 300gsm cold pressed watercolour paper. You can use watercolours, of course, but also gouache, acrylic or ink. Other journals and sketchbooks have multipurpose 'all-media' 140gsm recycled cartridge paper. The cartridge pages are ideal for writing in too, whether you prefer a biro, fountain pen, ballpoint or pencil.
Pssst! Would you prefer handmade cotton rag paper? It's oh, so tactile! I use my own cotton rag sketchbook for gouache, embroidery stitching on paper, plus pencils. You can find lay-flat cotton rag sketchbooks here and Japanese cotton rag sketchbooks here.
300gsm cold pressed watercolour paper pages
As ever, if you see something you like, but would prefer a different size, format or paper option I can make your perfect book to order - just get in touch. Perhaps you have a favourite paper, or prefer to work only in a particular format (portrait / landsape) or size (I make A6, A5 and A4 books, A3 may also be possible).
You can also view all your Bespoke journal and sketchbook options here. And did you know you can also order a colourful Wedding Guest Book, if white isn't your thing? I'd love to work with you to make your colourful dreams come true! Again, my bespoke service is the place to go, but do send me a message if you'd like to talk about your options.
A6 Leather Journal / Sketchbook: Green & Yellow with multpurpose recycled cartridge paper £79
Don't worry if you're more of a 'classic' colours kind of person. I'm still making beautifully tactile books in Navy Blue and Oxblood, amongst others. And you can always order a book in your favourite colour combinations, size and paper option with my Bespoke Service, as outlined above.
Sunny with a chance of showers? Miniature Leather Journal: Navy Blue & Teal, £20
You can scroll down to quickly add a book from the Spring collection to your cart. Alternatively you can take your time to browse the Spring Edit of handmade colourful books here.
I hope you've enjoyed reading all about the colour injection that's made its way into my studio recently! The new Spring collection of journals and sketchbooks is bursting with vibrant colours and unique colour combinations that truly bring a sense of joy.
Of course, I've bound every single book with the finest materials and craftsmanship. But they really don't fully come alive until they're in your hands and filled with your creative work. Scroll down to order or browse the Spring Edit here.

This Cotton Rag Sketchbook was inspired by mourning stationery I saw at a Victorian Gothic event at the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum in Bournemouth...
