Vintage Art Journal I Sketch/Doodle Diary

The Vintage Art Journal is a hand-stitched sketch and doodle diary with warm brown pages made from recycled scrap cotton fabric, pigmented with toxin-free colour. At 7" x 4.75" with deckled edges, it is built for drawing, lettering and loose creative work rather than tidy note-taking.

FAQs

Is the paper white or toned?

It is a warm brown tone throughout, which is what gives the journal its vintage look.

What media suit these pages?

Pencil, ink, fineliner, white gel and coloured pencil all work well. Heavy wet media will buckle the 125 GSM sheet.

Does it open flat for sketching?

Yes. The hand-stitched spine allows the book to relax open across the spread.

Are the deckled edges a defect?

No. They are the untrimmed edges of handmade sheets and are intended to be uneven.
