KALEVA  DRIFTWOOD SKETCHBOOK / JOURNAL

I found this amazing piece of driftwood while wandering the shorelines along Kaleva Road on Malcolm Island (my favourtie spot on the island for driftwood).  The weathering of this washed up  piece of plywood has created some really interesting layers, textures and shades of colour. 

PAPER TRAITS:  Strathmore 400 series drawing paper (80 lb/118 gsm).  This paper works well with graphite pencil, coloured pencil, pen and ink, marker, soft pastel, mixed media and oil pastel; perfect for all your writing and art ideas.  

Each group of pages is wrapped in a cover of Strathmore 400 series cold press watercolour paper (140 lb/300 gsm) that has been hand dyed to accentuate the grain of the wood covers.

Hand sewn with Irish linen thread using the ancient Coptic method of bookbinding; a structure that allows for each of the pages to lay flat, ensuring that each page can be used to its fullest.
