Diary (Este Macleod: Three Starlings) - Flame Tree Publishing

Part of the exciting and luxurious Flame Tree notebook series. Combining high-quality production with stunning artwork, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed, and then foil-embossed again. They are incredibly practical: a rear pocket for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks, and a sturdy magnetic side flap. Perfect for personal use and an impressive gift. This example features “Three Starlings” by Este MacLeod.

Esté MacLeod was born in South Africa, where she studied various media that shaped her unique painting style. Inspired by reality and imagination, she applies colours, shapes, textures, and patterns, creating vibrant artworks that reflect the inherent beauty of life.

The incredible titles and a very wide range of authors are characteristic of the Flame Tree Publishing brand.
