Field Notes Flora Notebooks - 3 Pack
SEE THE WORLD IN SHAPES
“Flora” was (or is, depending on your theology) the Roman goddess of flowers, the fertility of the land, and the coming of spring. We’ve borrowed her name for our 62nd Quarterly Edition. Three original designs (A, B, and C) by Chicago artist, muralist, and designer Emmy Star Brown grace the covers of these bright, joyful Memo Books.
Emmy‘s work evokes the creativity of our youthful selves… and, well… let’s let her explain it herself:
WHAT COLOR ARE THEY? YES.
It‘s been some time since we’ve offered anything this colorful. These vibrant colors and shapes, printed on high-quality 100#C McCoy cover stock from Sappi, are precisely what we all need to break out of the bleak winter and into the hopeful spring. The artwork is enhanced by the subtle application of contrasting glossy and dull varnishes. Inside you’ll find three distinct page styles: one ruled, one dot graph and one plain, featuring subtle grey ink on excellent Domtar Lynx 60#T paper. Glossy red staples tie it all together, figuratively and literally.
Our Quarterly Editions are limited. So like spring itself, they won‘t be around long.
