SOINTULA CEDAR SKETCHBOOK / JOURNAL

The cedar covers for this book are from Sointula, BC, a small Finnish fishing village on Malcolm Island.   I have been visiting this magical place for over 25 years now and always leave creatively refreshed.  While cut from the same piece of wood, they are three very different sets of covers.  If you have a preference, please include that in the note portion of your payment.

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 which allows for each of the pages to lay flat, ensuring that  every page can be used to its fullest.
