Alexandra Milton: Silver Tree of Life with Four White-throated Magpies (Foiled Journal) is a Flame Tree Notebook. These beautiful and luxurious journals combine high-quality production with magnificent art, making them perfect as a gift. They are an essential personal choice for writers, notetakers, travellers, students, poets, and diarists. The collection features a wide range of well-known and modern artists, with new artworks published throughout the year.

The journals are beautifully designed, with highly crafted covers printed on foil paper, embossed and then foil stamped. They are complemented by luxurious binding and rose red end-papers. Our artists and designers spend many hours transforming original artwork into gorgeous 3D masterpieces that feel good in the hand and look wonderful on a desk or table.

Flame Tree Notebooks are practical and easy to use, featuring a pocket at the back for scraps and receipts, and two ribbon markers to help keep track of more than just a to-do list. They contain robust ivory text paper printed with lines. Additionally, the magnetic side flap conveniently keeps other notes or scraps of paper neat and tidy.

The artist, Alexandra Milton, is an accomplished artist and illustrator whose chosen media is collage. She collects paper, which she tears and weaves into a multitude of layers to represent plants and animals. Her first children's book, Call Me Gorgeous, was nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2010 and, as a Bookstart title, distributed to 100,000 children across the UK. Her other books, Good Luck Baby Owls, Who is in the Egg? and Whose Tracks in the Snow?, are published by Boxer Books in the UK and the USA and have been translated into several languages. For this particular work, she drew inspiration from the fabulous Trees of Life represented on ancient Turkish ceramics. More about her work can be found at alexandramilton.com.
