Journals

Artisan Art Notebooks, the new Journals from Flame Tree, come in a range of hues to suit the moment and are embellished with a wide variety of well-known art on their tactile, vegan leather covers. They're carefully crafted with decorated page edges overflowing with petals, teasing vines and patterns. A unique blend of the practical and beautiful, with two ribbons and lined pages, the Artisan Art Notebooks are perfect for notes, creative writing, poetry, doodles and lists. And, with robust flexi covers, they're easy to slip into your bag and a pleasure to use. Simply, they feel good!

This example features the pattern from a lacquer box decorated by lesser-known artist Uematsu Hobi (1872-1933). The box itself is decorated with blossoming chrysanthemums and also features the poem, tsuyu no ma ni, the letters of which are embedded in silver. The background and edges are sprinkled with gold powder and portions of the blossoms and leaves on the top of the box are repeated on the sides.

A FLAME TREE NOTEBOOK. Beautiful and luxurious the journals combine high-quality production with magnificent art. Perfect as a gift, and an essential personal choice for writers, notetakers, travellers, students, poets and diarists. Features a wide range of well-known and modern artists, with new artworks published throughout the year.

BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED. The highly crafted covers are printed on foil paper, embossed then foil stamped, complemented by the luxury binding and rose red end-papers. The covers are created by our artists and designers who spend many hours transforming original artwork into gorgeous 3d masterpieces that feel good in the hand, and look wonderful on a desk or table.

PRACTICAL, EASY TO USE. Flame Tree Notebooks come with practical features too: a pocket at the back for scraps and receipts; two ribbon markers to help keep track of more than just a to-do list; robust ivory text paper, printed with lines; and when you need to collect other notes or scraps of paper the magnetic side flap keeps everything neat and tidy.

THE ARTIST. The mother and daughter duo, Nel Whatmore and Polly Rose, are artists from the UK. This print is part of their Garden Project, featuring beautiful works that celebrate nature, inspired by their garden at home. Nel and Polly Rose have both faced adversity and found that being creative helped them through the hardest of times.

THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
