Gocken Jobs: Rose & Lily (Foiled Blank Journal): Flame Tree Blank Notebooks

A beautiful, luxurious Flame Tree Blank Notebook. Combining high-quality production and FSC-certified paper with magnificent fine art, the crafted covers are printed on foil, embossed then foil stamped. And they’re powerfully practical: a pocket at the back for receipts and scraps and two bookmark ribbons. Art by Gocken Jobs. For most, the name Jobs is synonymous with richly blooming fabrics that have been among the classics of Swedish textile art since the 1940s. Less well known is that Lisbet Jobs (1909–61) and her sister Gocken Jobs (1914–95) first trained as potters. As two independent artists they then worked side by side and their works gained international fame. Rose and Lily was designed for textiles by Gocken Jobs in 1946. The pattern was composed in Leksand, Dalarna, where the sisters shared a studio. It is inspired by the surrounding flowering meadows and flower beds. Sketches for the pattern can be found in the National Museum's archives in Stockholm, Sweden.
