A VIEW FROM A ROOM

If you are reading this then it may very well happen that you've bought one of my handmade notebooks. Here is a little information on what they are made of. First of all, any good notebook needs good paper. So far I've been using paper from Fabriano, which I think is the oldest paper mill in Europe. They have a wide range of paper available, and I usually stick to 160g drawing paper for large books (A5) and 120g drawing paper for pocket sized ones (A6). These papers are well suited for most drawing media - pencil, pen, charcoal, pastels. The paper will even handle light splashings of watercolour, but I would be careful with large washes. If that is your style I can offer you special made books with medium weight watercolour paper. Now, a good book needs a good cover. I am rather boring in my preferences, I am happy with a monochrome, sandpapered cover. But I love creating more striking books suited for other personalities. I search through atlases and photobooks, old maps...
