Hobonichi A6 Pencil Board: Keiko Shibata - Upwind Alpacas

A pencil board slides under the page you are writing on. It gives thin paper something firm to sit against, so the pen stops skating, and it stops the pressure of your writing embossing itself into the sheet underneath. The picture is from Keiko Shibata's series on the theme of wind: alpacas leaning into a gust strong enough to tilt their long necks, holding their ground with some effort and considerable dignity. The reverse is plain white.
