Balinese artisan Komang Sulaksana uses a creative array of natural materials to make this set of two charming notebooks. Each notebook contains 80 pages of rice-straw paper, and the covers are handmade from banana bark and decorated with kupu-kupu leaves that have been treated and dried to emphasize the striking veins of each leaf. The covers are then painted, decorated with cinnamon, and tied with agel grass cord.

I just love these journals. I bought them for graduation gifts and kept one for myself. They are beautifully made--inside and out. They are delicate and sophisticated, also very light weight for travel. The handmade paper is great for writing or drawing.

I really like the fact that this artisan uses so many natural materials, from rice straw paper to covers made of banana bark fiber. These two black journals are decorated with kapu-kapu leaves and the veins of the leaves are very pretty. I love them!

The purple looks as if its dyed leaves. Such a rich, dark purple. The button is attached securely. The handmade paper is a bonus. I cant wait to use as a sketch book or journal in my travel bag. Very well made. Pretty enough to leave out on desk top. It would make a lovely gift for an artist, poet or anyone who likes to jot down their muses in a one of a kind notebook. Guest book in your guest room, family recipes for a niece or nephew, written story made up with a grandchild... The options are limitless.
