Blue + Gold Edition - Handmade Sketchbook or Journal ( Limited Edition)

Decadent Gold edged pages and a flash of gold on a dark inky blue hand painted cover. Filled with Handmade cotton paper and recycled cartridge paper. A perfect Christmas gift for a writer, artist, journaler or general stationery fan. I wanted to create a special limited edition so only a few of these are being made.

FAQ’s

Can I use a fountain pen or watercolours in it?

Absolutely - l use fountain paper on the cartridge paper every day. it doesn’t feather or bleed. you can use a wide range of artist media too, including marker and brush pens, charcoal, pencil and even a light wash of watercolour ( I wouldn’t soak the cartridge paper pages, but the cotton paper pages are super strong and will take wet media.
