Peacock Garden | Ephemeral Earth Journal Silk Roads Series

£120.00
Sold Out

A one-of-a-kind paperback journal featuring screen printed Japanese chiyogami paper of a peacock garden scene within a hand painted border.

A peacock in Japanese art symbolises protection, wisdom, prosperity and paradise, drawing layered meanings from Buddhism and folklore despite being a non-native bird.

The exposed spine is hand embellished with imitation gold leaf, aged with walnut ink. Hand bound with tea-stained handmade cotton and linen rag paper, this is a journal for those who find beauty in imperfection and a little olde-world charm.

Its earthy, toned pages make a lovely backdrop for mixed media, pressed flowers and botanical studies. Use it as an art journal, recipe book, scrapbook, as a herbarium or gardening journal to keep the seasons close.

Paper Notes: Best suited to soft pastels, technical drawing pens, acrylic and gouache. The paper is only light sized, so it will only take very light washes of watercolour.
