Notebook | Adelle Hickey

Hand bound and stitched linen notebooks. Each design starts as a hand-made piece using threads and stitches from traditional Irish needlework. Aran knitting stitches in particular, are central to the work. These patterns are then reproduced using a unique printing technique, which is made into a metal stamp. This is then de-bossed and foiled onto case bound Linen notebooks. The process of creating the finished design takes time due to the delicate nature of the technique and work. This collection of notebooks are an expression of all that is authentically Irish.
