Flame Tree Notebooks Wan Mae Dodd: Blue Poppies (Foiled Journal)

A beautiful, luxurious Flame Tree Notebook. Combining high-quality production with magnificent fine art, the crafted covers are printed on foil, embossed then foil stamped. And they’re powerfully practical: a pocket at the back for receipts and scraps, two bookmark ribbons and a magnetic side flap. Art by Wan Mae Dodd.

A FLAME TREE NOTEBOOK. Beautiful and luxurious the journals combine high-quality production with magnificent art. Perfect as a gift, and an essential personal choice for writers, notetakers, travellers, students, poets and diarists. Features a wide range of well-known and modern artists, with new artworks published throughout the year.

BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED. The highly crafted covers are printed on foil paper, embossed then foil stamped, complemented by the luxury binding and rose red end-papers. The covers are created by our artists and designers who spend many hours transforming original artwork into gorgeous 3d masterpieces that feel good in the hand, and look wonderful on a desk or table.

PRACTICAL, EASY TO USE. Flame Tree Notebooks come with practical features too: a pocket at the back for scraps and receipts; two ribbon markers to help keep track of more than just a to-do list; robust ivory text paper, printed with lines; and when you need to collect other notes or scraps of paper the magnetic side flap keeps everything neat and tidy.

THE ARTIST. Born in Hubei Province in China and trained at Leeds Arts University, Wan Mae Dodd draws much of her inspiration from organic, natural objects, especially flowers – alliums, poppies, hydrangeas and cherry blossom – as well as pine cones and shells. Blue Poppies is part of a series of original paintings she created using acrylic paint on cartridge paper steeped in linseed oil, which creates a distinctive depth and sheen.

THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
