Perfect as a personal journal, sketchbook, or thoughtful gift for stationery lovers, this handmade notebook blends artistic design with eco-friendly materials. Its dragonfly-themed tie-dye cover makes it a one-of-a-kind addition to your stationery collection. Whether you're using it for creative projects or everyday jotting, this notebook is a beautiful and functional companion.
Lokta paper is used on the inside covers, which has been made in Nepal for over 1000 years and is a sustainable product. The bush from which the raw material is taken regenerates to it's full size over five to seven years.
The book is hand stitched using coptic stitch, giving the impression of plaits across the spine of the book, which you will be able to see in the photo. The stitching is delicate, but strong. Coptic stitching was first used by Christians in Egypt (the Copts) between the 2nd and 11th centuries AD. This type of stitching allows the book to lay completely flat. It is worth noting that this also means there is some movement around the spine of the cover boards; however, this does not imply a weakness in the book! Without this movement, the book would not lay flat, so I never attempt to overcome this with glue or other methods.
