Finally! Got some pictures of the new notebook design I had printed on little notebooks. They are about 3.5×5 inches, so perfect for a pocket notebook or purse! It’s paper is made from 100% recycled paper and is printed with soy-based ink. It has 32 blank pages for your creative use.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nI created the design in Illustrator and had it printed professionally.<\/div>\n

\nThe idea was inspired by those situations where I have an idea and sometimes I would cage it up in my head later because I didn’t have a way to preserve the idea. I decided to go with paper cranes flying out of the cage since they mean happiness, honor, loyalty, good luck, and peace. I thought those were good representations of ideas so I used that in place of real birds.<\/p>\n

\nI left the front blank so people could DIY. As a creative person, I would give it a title and decorate it. I haven’t decorated mine yet but I will post pictures when I do.<\/p>\n

I had a person tell me it’s perfect since they were left handed. I didn’t even consider that but I’m glad that the person could feel more at ease using it.<\/p>\n

\nThe binding just uses staples but it lies pretty flat.<\/p>\n

\nNot completely sure if it’s fountain pen friendly, I think it handles ink fine but not wet inks with broad nibs. I haven’t experimented with mine yet but if you’re curious enough I could try it out in an extended review or update this review. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
