Field Notes Sign of Spring Memo Notebook - 3 Pack
WHOS DE BOSS?
Field Notes wanted to produce something bright and warm for this edition, so they focused on the papers. It all started when they located a batch of Mohawk Via Vellum 80# Yellow, a stock they have always loved but never found the right project for, until now. In their estimation, the finish and structure of this paper were absolutely made for embossing and debossing. While they have experimented with that in the past, weve really pushed the limits here.
The covers are heavily debossed all over, with three original graphic patterns based on flowers that are among the very first to appear in the North American Spring each year: the Ghost Flower (Mohavea confertiflora) in the Southwest, Quaker Ladies (Houstonia caerulea) in the East, and Contra Costa Goldfriends (Lasthenia conjugates) in the San Francisco Bay area. Then the covers were hot-stamped with three luscious, reflective Kurz Luxor Foils.
