Diary back design with Handmade Stipula Tuscan Dreams fountain pen.
Purpose of this Diary: a place to write your discrete entries of what has happened over the course of a day; a place to keep your treasured ideas, thoughts and feelings, and process your experiences.
May you find inspiration by your pen in contemplation.
Lovely as a gift for the writers, poets, travelers, artisans, and hermits in your life.
Beautiful to use as a guest book, or to log comments at an event, hotel reception or exhibition.
The central image is symbolic of the mosaic backed fountains . .
A Catalogue of the Summerhill ARTE Notebooks with the stories of each notebook can be downloaded from the Elements Page.
This notebook feels nice in the hand, it is not meant to be a book too precious yet to feel aesthetically balanced, enjoyable and practical to use; and it can manage some fountain pen ink writing too with minimal bleed or showing through the other side. The lines are quite light and do not overwhelm the page.
A catalogue is on the Elements page:
"And then, you know how life is, like a woven fabric in which all the threads cross, and what I want one day is to see the whole pattern."
