Moleskine Studio Collection Large Notebook Yellena James

Moleskine's Studio Collection is a range of notebooks featuring the artwork of six different international artists, each with their own particular style and outlook on life.

Artist, illustrator and author Yellena James is from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and creates colourful, botanical-inspired work that is delicately-wrought. She says, 'I don't plan my drawings... I feel my way through the piece, focusing on atmosphere, energy and emotion... a creative should create.'

This hard-covered notebook features artwork entitled 'Silken', especially created by Yellena for Moleskine. It also features on the fly leaves and on the included set of stickers. The notebook's rounded corners are less likely to get damaged, it opens out flat on a desk making it easier to use, and an elastic closure keeps everything together. There is a choice of page layout, and the ivory-coloured paper is 100gsm and acid-free. A fabric page ribbon will mark your place.

At the front of the notebook is a short interview with the artist, and the expandable pocket on the inside back cover contains the aforementioned stickers and a history of Moleskine. It's presented in a clear-fronted box which can be reused as a picture frame: it even has a couple of holes on the back to make hanging it a cinch! And the package also contains a print of the artwork with the artist and its title.

Notebook measures 130mm x 210mm. All Moleskine products are FSC-certified.
