A coptic stitch book with a cover created from a masonite children’s chalkboard and is filled with 240 pages (120 leaves) of various papers. It even includes a piece of chalk so that you can keep your daily list of things to do in plain view.
The papers include 144 pages of acid free, 70 lb., fine tooth drawing paper. The drawing paper is well suited for using both sides of each leaf. It works well with a variety of media including ink, pencil, charcoal and of course, chalk! The remaining 96 pages are a mixture of recycled wide ruled paper, green bar computer paper and vintage papers from discarded library books. Several of the vintage papers contain interesting illustrations and/or photographs. The library pocket in front includes a custom library card. You can also use the pocket to store small notes and findings.

This is genius.
