Hegassen Journal - Volume 8

Patiently, a rough-edged cream volume where a topknotted figure points at a tumbling pair.

This is a handmade cotton and paper journal, volume 8. 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 hand-bound volume with ragged pale edges and a small ribbon marker at the bottom. A watercolor scene shows a man with a tall black cap gesturing, while two figures in blue and pink robes topple beneath a grey streak. It is 5 inches long, 2 deep and 8.5 high.

The gesture is grand and the tumble is wholehearted.
