WEATHERED WOOD SKETCHBOOK / JOURNAL

The boards that I’ve used for these covers are from the shorelines of Malcolm Island. The wood has been sanded and sealed to prevent any more paint from rubbing off and to make it sliver-proof.

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).

All the paper has been hand torn (to allow for a beautiful deckled edge) and dyed in tea for an aged effect.

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 for optimum use.
