I purchased both of these sketchbooks from Ebay, they are beautifully hand crafted from recycled paper and dried petals. The front cover closes by wrapping a piece of palm leaf string around a coconut button and the pages are made from rice husk/bamboo paper. The sketchbooks were originally produced in a small village in Bali, Indonesia, they are fair trade items and the money made helps maintain their traditional craftsmen skills and sustain village life.
