It measures 16×16 cm (apr. 6 x 6 inches). The paper is suitable for almost any dry or wet medium. The book is covered with Dainel original, a velvet-like material that looks and feels wonderful. The gold-coloured metal corners provide both decoration and protection. The coptic binding is done in black 4-ply Irish waxed linnen and allows the book to open flat at every page.

I've been inspired lately by some Swedish designs. These are my interpretation. These tags have been white-washed but you can still see the lovely grain of the wood through the paint. A lovely bright red cord ribbon has been added. They're plain on the back so that you can add your own personal message. You can do this in any felt tip pen.They measure approximately 6cms (2 1/2"). The ribbons may vary depending on stock but will be red or white to match the tags.
