Hegassen Journals - Volumes 1 - 5

Softly, a row of cream spines that join up into one brawling scene.

This is a set of handmade cotton and paper journals, volumes 1 to 5. Handmade papers made with cotton fiber are valued for their softness and strength, and they take pen and ink well without becoming brittle over time. Taken whole, a set of slim cream volumes stood side by side, their spines labelled by number in faint print. Together the fronts form one continuous watercolor of tumbling figures in red, blue and patterned robes. Colored cords hang from the tops. It is 5 inches long, 2 deep and 8.5 high.

Neatly shelved and quite the opposite of tidy.
