The Start Cotton Rag Sketchbook Gift Set bundles two of my bestselling exposed spine Sketchbooks; the Wabi Sabi and the Japanese. This set saves you 10% compared to buying the books individually. Both art journals are a portable, travel-friendly A6 small size (4 x 6 inches / 10 x 15cm approximately).
It's the perfect gift set for your creative loved one - or treat yourself and make space for your own creativity!
The Wabi Sabi Sketchbook has 64 pages that open fully and lie completely flat. They'll also accommodate a few inclusions for collage and ephemera. These art journals feature exposed spine stitching in white French linen thread and incorporate a natural woven linen ribbon that ties around the book to keep it closed.
The Japanese Sketchbook features the Simple 4-hole spine pattern in Light Blue linen thread. It has 40 pages that are great for small sketches of buildings and landscapes, still lifes, or as a flipbook. The spine stays closed, meaning the sketchbook won't lay flat and stays safely closed of its own accord.
Both sketchbooks are bound with 210gsm medium surface handmade paper that's raditionally handmade in India, and is guaranteed fairtrade. It's sized internallly and externally, which means it takes wet media like gouache and watercolour very well. It's also lovely for pencils and ink. I even use mine for embroidery stitching!
The paper is sustainable and eco-friendly as it's made with recycled offcuts from the fashion industry that would otherwise become landfill waste. The paper is exceptionally beautiful with a distinctive 'ruffled' texture and appearance. It seems to invite you to experiment and play - no blank page creative terror here!
The Wabi Sabi: "The most exquisite work of art and yet it is still very practical, perfect for all sorts of art work. I just love it!" - Melanie
The Japanese: "Beautiful object in its own right. Super paper, the artist friend who received it was thrilled and inspired. Packaged beautifully and sent quickly" - Jackie
