Marigold Artist Sketchbook

Designed as a space for thoughts, sketches and ideas to unfold slowly, Nila’s Dip Dye Artist Sketchbook brings together handmade paper, botanical colour and thoughtful craftsmanship. Layered in shades of marigold, the cover reveals the subtle tonal variations characteristic of natural dye.

The paper is crafted using recycled cotton fabric scraps which are gradually turned into pulp, flattened into sheets and left out to dry. Once ready, the sheets are hand dyed using 100% marigold flower extracts, with alum used as a pre-treatment to improve dye absorption and colour fastness. Bound in a hard cover, the sketchbook is designed for moments of pause and creativity, while its smooth grain makes it especially delightful to draw and write on.

As with all naturally dyed products, subtle variations in colour are part of the beauty of the process. The golden tones may soften gently over time, particularly with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Nila’s stationery collection is created in collaboration with Craft Boat, a Jaipur-based studio working closely with artisans through recycled paper and natural fibre textiles. Grounded in shared values of traditional practices and intentional making, the collaboration honours the rhythm of slow craft.
