Edition #57 Notes
Valerie Greeley is a miniature painter who I discovered through the cutest little animal paintings she makes. She's an elected member of the Royal Miniature Society, and is formally known as a decorative artist whose intricate and very detailed style of illustration has become a defining feature. Her artwork is always delightful and immensely nostalgic for me for reasons I can't put into words. Though I adore Valerie's animals, for our collaboration we decided to take on a very summery vibe filled with herbs, flowers, and garden elements.
All in all this notebook is perfect for Northern hemisphere solstice release, and like Valerie said, it's "a notebook for gardeners who love herbs."
A coordinating ruler/bookmark and stats card is included with each notebook.
Fray level: Medium
Most Dapper Notes covers are made using fabric, which naturally frays with use. Each material behaves differently, and this meter will help you gauge how much fraying to expect from your notebook. Read more about fabric covers
