Hegassen Journal - Volume 9

Patiently, a fine-edged cream book with a drawing in faint brown line and pale wash.

This is a handmade cotton and paper journal, volume 9. 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 hand-bound book with soft, frayed edges and a ribbon at the foot. A delicate drawing in brown line shows a bare-chested figure sitting beside another with long dark hair. A touch of orange color shows at the upper left edge. It is 5 inches long, 2 deep and 8.5 high.

Soft lines, soft edges and a very modest cover.
