Este Macleod: Three Starlings (Foiled Journal)

Book excerpt: Part of a series of exciting and luxurious Flame Tree Notebooks. Combining high-quality production with magnificent fine art, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed, then foil stamped. And they're powerfully practical: a pocket at the back for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks and a solid magnetic side flap. These are perfect for personal use and make a dazzling gift. This example features Este Macleod's 'Three Starlings'. Esté MacLeod was born in South Africa where she studied a range of mediums that informed her unique style of painting. Inspired by the real and imaginary, she layers colours, shapes, textures and patterns to create vivid artworks that convey the intrinsic beauty of life.
