A cheerful gingham check pattern alternates butter yellow and white squares in a regular, woven grid across the entire composition. The crisp, evenly-spaced checks create a sense of order and lightness, evoking the timeless appeal of picnic blankets and vintage kitchen textiles. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
