"If you're an artist, maker, writer or note taker; inspiration can strike at any moment. Many a good thought has been lost for lack of suitable material to jot it down on. My satchel is not complete without a nifty notebook, small enough not to feel pressured into making it a great tome of knowledge. But useful and functional for notes, the odd shopping list, and a game of noughts and crosses with my niece." Hoopoe in the Tulips is an illustration that originated from an elaborate 70th birthday for Lily’s Ma. Depicting some of their shared loves and celebrating the seasonal changes of the warmer climes of Spring time Spain. The Hoopoe sits in the boughs of an Indian bead tree, a still life scene in the foreground with abundant jugs of hellebore and wayward tulips.
This A6 Notebook has 42 blank pages ready for you to write, draw or scrawl over. Perfectly formed for notes on the go, this little book is ready to be popped in a pocket for your next adventure. Lily loves to keep one handy for when inspiration strikes, whilst walking Ned. After multiple sketches, collages and maybe even some laser cut maquettes, Lily creates the final composition in Photoshop.
Working in just two colours, she loves working in layers, to create all of the details, and a third colour by placing sections on top of each other. The restricted colour palette lends itself to commercial screen printing, and also stops Lily from getting too carried away. Once a digital file is created, we share it with a local independent printing company, that we have worked with since the early days of LF. Lily loves being able to go and talk to their incredibly helpful team, but also touch all the different types of card and paper stock. When all parties are happy, they are printed in their carbon offset print facility onto 100% recycled card, and filled with recycled paper pages.
