When I was a kid, I once made a notebook covered in denim, and I was fond of it for a while. Of course I still have it: The paper inside was from the letter-size pads my dad always used, brought home from where he worked as an engineer. I stapled together two signatures, and … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: Denim Collection (vs. My Handmade!)
This week’s addict is an “urban sketcher, strongwoman, artist, fountain pen collector and maker.” She shared an intriguing photo of her notebook/sketchbook collection on Twitter: Not sure what all the brands are, but definitely Leuchtturm and Stillman & Birn.
