Cover
The cover is made from handloom cotton. The cloth is made directly from raw cotton in the villages close to cotton fields, combining traditional Indian principles of cloth-making with modern small-scale technology. It avoids the baling and unbailing of cotton by heavy machinery and unnecessary transport. It has a beautiful texture, is soft, and keeps its shape for ages. Today, handloom weaving is the largest non-farm employer in the country, and it is primarily rural. Each region has its particular weave, and that's the beauty of handloom.
Pages
Paper: 100% recycled and wood-free
Please note: There may be minor imperfections in the textile as it is handwoven on looms and on the papers as they are handmade from recycled cotton rags. These imperfections are natural and add beauty to the product as each piece is unique.
About Art Journals
An art diary, art journal, or visual journal is a daily journal kept by artists. It often contains words and sketches and occasionally includes mixed-media elements such as collages.
These books contain rough work, sketches, and doodles of ideas that will later appear in finished works. They also act as normal diaries by allowing the person to record their day-to-day activities and emotions.
Many famous artists are known for their art diaries – the sketchbooks of Leonardo da Vinci are probably the best-known example. Other artists to have used art journals include Frida Kahlo. The concept of an art diary is also used by people working in related creative fields such as music, photography, design, architecture, etc.
