This week’s addict is a designer who wishes he could find one notebook that met all his needs: One important characteristic I require is that the pages have to withstand watercolour paints, as this is the most common medium used when adding detail and colour to my sketches. The Windsor and Newton sketchpad does this … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Rusty Rocket
You might think April is a little early to be declaring a Notebook Addict of the Year. Well, I’m ashamed to say I have been trying to get this post ready for months, so it really should have gone up last year. But I’m not sure it even matters what year it is, because Carmen … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Year: Carmen
This week’s addict is the author and illustrator D. M. Cornish, creator of the Monster-Blood Tattoo series. I’d never heard of these books, but they seem to have gotten some great reviews. I often enjoy fantasy novels for kids, so now I’m tempted to check them out! But what I’d really like to see are … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: D. M. Cornish
This week’s addict is Jace Stansbury of Texas, who keeps notebooks devoted to a very specific purpose: recording observations of nature. Here’s some of the collection: Jace’s thoughts on keeping notebooks: I have stacks of pocket-sized notebooks full of observations made over the years and I’m in the process of re-writing these notes in a … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: An Amateur Naturalist
Travis the Trout shares this photo of his stash, at least part of it! The notebook collection here is very different from my eye-candy ones of my childhood when my collection was all about the look, now my notebooks also have a more academic appeal. My intentions are to weed out the practical from the … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Travisthetrout
Our latest addict of the week is Hannah, who blogs at Slightly Lovely. Here’s her stash: And here’s what she has to say about them: This is a pile of notebooks gathered from around my bedroom (I’m sure there are more hidden on shelves, in closets & drawers). In this pile, there are spiral notebooks, … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Hannah
Our latest addict of the week is a regular reader who submitted this photo of her stash, safely guarded by two interesting little figures: Looks like a nice collection of Piccadilly and Moleskine notebooks, plus some other brands I don’t recognize, all ready to filled up with creativity, perhaps some early drafts of her blog … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Victoria D.
This week’s Addict is a self-described “traveling folk rocker” who mentions picking up some pebbles along the way. She also picked up some notebooks! These were found while helping her mother prepare for a move: The most time-consuming part of packing was organizing all of my notebooks, CDs, and cassettes from over the years – … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Laura Meyer
This week’s notebook addict has the distinction of being our first Filofax addict: This is a particularly hard to justify form of notebook addiction– after all, a Filofax is a durable, refillable binder: you can’t “use it up” the way you can with other bound notebooks and journals. 10 Moleskine-type notebooks might not seem like … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Mywormy
Msmonster presents a portion of her large and very eclectic notebook collection: She notes “I’m not majorly picky about where I get my notebooks from, I love my Ciak and Rhodia as much as I love some of my Tesco brand notebooks that cost as little as £1.50.” More photos and commentary at ☠ Are … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Mzmonster
