Anna Stead: Mushrooms & Fungi (Foiled Quarto Journal)

A FLAME TREE QUARTO NOTEBOOK. Beautiful and luxurious the Foiled Quarto Journals combine high-quality production and sustainable paper with magnificent art. Perfect as a gift, and an essential personal choice for writers, notetakers, list-makers, travellers, students, poets and diarists. Features a wide range of well-known and modern artists, with new artworks published throughout the year. A NEW SERIES. The Quarto format is named after the earliest form of European printed publication, dating back to the 1400s when Gutenberg invented the first moveable-type printing press, heralding a revolution in mass communication, spreading ideas of literature, science and philosophy of the Renaissance. We celebrate this with our range of fine art and contemporary illustrations. 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, table, in the hand and in your bag.  PRACTICAL, EASY TO USE. Flame Tree Notebooks come with practical features too: the high-quality, 120-gsm lined pages are sustainable, Acid Free and Bleed Proof – suitable for all pen types, such as gel and rollerball. A pocket at the back for scraps and receipts, two ribbon markers to help keep track of more than just a to-do list, and a magnetic side flap helps keep everything neat and tidy. THE ARTIST. Anna Stead is an illustrator working from her home in the beautiful North Cotswolds. She draws inspiration from nature, legend, history, folklore, literature, folk art and the mythic arts. She has a background in medieval studies and is a lover of fantasy literature. She can be found with a cat in her lap, playing video games or sketching on her iPad whenever she gets a chance. 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.”
