Hegassen Journal - Volume 7

Patiently, a deckle-edged little book with tumbling, cheerfully tangled figures on the cover.

This is a handmade cotton and paper journal, volume 7. 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 rectangular volume in cream, with rough pale edges and a bookmark ribbon at the foot. A soft pencil and watercolor scene shows tangled figures in blue patterned and red garments. Faint grey smoke-like lines trail across the upper area. It is 5 inches long, 2 deep and 8.5 high.

A hand-made book with an entirely unserious jacket.
