Field Notes 24

The First Appointment

Field Notes 24 marks the opening chapter of the Cabinet of Curiosities.

A collection of field notes with a vintage green cover, floral illustrations, paint swatches, and a pen. Two butterflies are positioned on the top corners, and dried foliage decorates the background. The text promotes a creative concept called 'Field Notes 24' about exploring curiosity and inspiration.

Inspired by the notebooks, specimen collections, and observations of naturalists, artists, and explorers, this appointment was created for those who find inspiration in the details—the collected fragments, faded pages, curious discoveries, and quiet moments that often become the beginning of something meaningful.

A flat lay of a field notes kit including a vintage butterfly chart, a blue packet of organic Darla grass seed, a small pipe, two pens, a paintbrush, a notebook, a fan-shaped mushroom, two jars labeled Margallia and Petit Pot, and various ferns and leaves on a dark surface.
An organized display of six items labeled as part of 'The Expedition Kit,' including a blue jar of Marginalia Studio Edition paint, a small jar of Petit Pot color, a round tip studio brush, a Field Notes journal, a collection of paper items and natural specimens, and a set of keepsakes including a tag and monogrammed token.

Twenty-four recipients will be selected to receive a curated Field Notes collection assembled in the Mélange studio.

More than a giveaway, Field Notes 24 is an invitation into the world of the Cabinet of Curiosities and the first step toward becoming part of the Cabinet of Curiosities Class of 2026.

Flat lay of vintage items on wooden surface, including a branch with elongated leaves, a blue paper or folder with a decorative brass ring pull, a clear quartz crystal, an old botanical illustration, a handwritten letter, a magnifying glass, and a cluster of quartz crystals.

The Studio Edition Experiment

Field Notes 24 recipients will be among the first to experience an experimental studio formula prepared exclusively for this collection.

While different from the standard Morphose by Mélange finish, this special matte formulation was selected because its soft, archival character felt particularly suited to the world of Field Notes and the Cabinet of Curiosities.

Recipients will be invited to share their observations, impressions, and experiences as they work with the color.

The Path Forward

Decorative display featuring a vintage book labeled 'Cabinet of Curiosities, Class of 2026', a magnifying glass, brass butterfly and moth, fern leaves, a jar of matte finish paint, handwritten notes, and a vintage tag reading 'Expedition No. 24'.

Each recipient automatically becomes part of the Cabinet of Curiosities class of 2026 and advances into later discoveries still to come.

Why Field Notes 24 Exists
