Cork Fabric Pocket Notebooks

Each notebook contains 40 sheets of paper 

(80 writing surfaces).

These pocket notebooks were handcrafted using cork fabric for the covers. They are very soft, comfortable, and have a feel similar to leather and are lightweight and pliable. Bookcloth is traditionally used on the outside of a book, I chose to adhere it to the back of the cork fabric and add durability to the covers. The bookcloth also becomes an attractive and colorful interior giving each notebook a finished, handcrafted look inside and out.

"Sumi-e-Washi-Rice" papers were used for the pages, which lend well to pencil sketching and pen and ink. Each notebook measures 3.5" x 5" and is hand sewn with durable waxed linen thread using a traditional five-hole pamphlet stitch. Ivory parchment paper endpapers add  a lovely detail.
