This cotton rag sketchbook is a slightly more luxurious version of the popular Wabi Sabi Sketchbooks, this time bound with a pinkish-red silk ribbon for extra tactile pleasure and a flash of bold colour.
It has 64 lay-flat pages of 210gsm handmade cotton rag paper that is suitable for dry and wet media, embroidery and more. Choose the simple exposed spine version, or add a heavyweight cotton rag paper cover for archiving (leave a message at checkout if you'd like to add the cover).
"My second sketchbook, this time Susan made one for me with a beautiful red silk ribbon and it is just gorgeous. I can't recommend this artist enough!" - Melanie, Berkshire.
This practical Sketchbook is bound in the French Linkstitch style, and is left coverless to showcase the beauty of its binding and materials (unless you add the optional cover).
Bound by hand with traditional bookbinding skills, the exposed spine binding allows the pages to lie flat on a surface for easy use. The book will also turn 360 degrees so you can display its pages standing up on a shelf in your studio, or in an exhibition.
The 100% handmade cotton rag paper is acid-free and sized for wet media including watercolours, oils, acrylic and gouache. It is medium surface with a good grip and tooth, so it takes dry media like charcoal very well, too. It's fairtrade and handmade from textile industry offcuts, meaning it's sustainable, ethical and good for the planet.
Because they're handmade, the pages have traditional deckle edges which make for a delightfully ruffled appearance. When not in use, the delicate silk ribbon keeps your art journal securely closed (and the ribbon is held safe by the spine stitching).
