Dear Everyone ~

I have cherished my kraft notebook sample for months now,
not wanting to “ruin” its pristineness. But once I started
drawing and painting … and loving the effect …
I’ve proceeded to try every medium I could think of.
And now, I have just received my first order of these
incredibly beguiling notebooks imported from Germany.
(We don’t usually mention price in our blog posts, but
these notebooks are a Eurodiculous bargain!)

The notebook is 5¾ x 8⅛, and slightly under ¼ in. thick.
I’m keeping my notebook closed with a butterfly clip.
The cover is lusciously thick, and a rich caramel colour.
The notebook contains 20 acid-free pages,
and they are a golden honey hue.

I’ve experimented with white housepaint (from the UK)
as the background of the “test page” for
my personal stash/cache of Tombow markers.
I’ve also used black and white brush pens and Sumi ink.
And a white acrylic pen, fountain pen, and a Zig calligraphy marker.

As it’s happened, I’m using this notebook to start exploring
various sketch notions, and then, once I have a direction in mind,
I refine my idea in my larger current sketchbook.

Kraftily,
