The lost touch lead.

Pencil, is what I am referring to. 

In the fast, advanced technology world, writing has become less and less frequent. And even when we write, we do it mostly with pen. 

 

Pencil, is a tool that I hardly use, until recently when I started sketching (drawing). And I realised that it took me forever to finish one pencil - I have tons of them waiting for me - looks like I will have my whole life to finish them. 

To me, it's a new-found tool worth looking into.

Other accessories for sales.

 
At times, I am amazed by how many accessories one has in his/her Traveler's Notebook. 

Just like an iceberg, most of the time, we only see the surface of the TN, but it is what unseen inside the TN that amazed us. 

Many people asked about what I have in my stock list that will enhance their TNs. 

So now, here's the list:

For Sales: Zipper Pouches

Zipper pouches have been one of the best accessories designed for our Traveler's Notebook. 
Depending on the type of zipper pouch,  we can now carry our cards, stickers, notes and even pen with our Traveler's Notebook. 
Personally, I am using an Advanced zipper pouch in my Camel Traveler's Notebook. 

 

So here are some of the Zipper Pouches available for Sale:

My (beginner) sketching experiences.

Sketching is something that I've been wanting to do, but I have never go about doing it, fearing that I can't sketch better than my peers.

I decided to leap off the cliff of fear, and dive into the wonders of art.
Sketching (in my own words), is my way of expressing my views, onto paper with a pen.
I shouldn't take it as a competition, and compete with others (who are much better than me).

 
I did my first sketch based on the photo above. 
I am proud of myself (as a beginner) to be able to pen what i saw onto paper.

The Standard Memorandum 2017.

The Standard Memorandum from Cool Material on Vimeo.

Introducing: The Standard Memorandum Notebook

Inspired by pocket journals from the early to mid 1900's, The Standard Memorandum is designed to chronicle a year of your life. Word. has teamed up with designer and illustrator, Jon Contino, to create a modern version of this storied notebook. The Standard Memorandum is laid out so you simply jot down a line or two every day for a year and are left with a memento you can save or pass down. The project began after Jon discovered his wife's great-grandfather's pocket journals from the early 1900's that basically recreated what his life was like. Born out of a desire to start doing this himself, Jon partnered with Word. Notebooks to create a journal like the ones he found. The Standard Memorandum is that journal.

Field Notes Black Ice, in Singapore

Field Notes Black Ice has finally arrived in Singapore!!

With it's shiny cover, it is certainly an attraction.
Unlike the normal edition, this is the first edition without staples (PUR Binding), therefore some users might not like it as it will makes writing harder.

With it's Ruled paper, it gives a vintage feel.
If you are an old-school type of person, this is the notebook you should keep inside your pocket.

Many users are concern if Black Ice are fountain pen friendly?
I tried out with a fountain pen with an EF nib, and it doesn't bleed through. 
But I had read some reviews that this is not the notebook for fountain pen users.

The price for this edition is SGD$22.00 (excluding postage fee).
To order, drop us an email and we will get back to you as soon as we can. 

Shiny cover for this edition.
