This is a relatively simply journal as my idea was for it to be a masculine-theme writing journal without any frilly stuff. I started with a piece of vinyl I thought would make a nice cover, which it did, and then I had fun putting together the signatures to coordinate with the brown theme.

I am a classically trained artist of drawing and painting and think of journal making the same as any other composition - I look to create harmony, unity, cohesiveness. When I make a journal I am making an art piece and all the elements need to work together so that I don't make parts and pieces for journals ahead of time, I make pieces for individual journals appropriate for that journal.

This unique, handmade journal is a perfect writing journal, with hand-dyed and specialty papers scattered throughout. There are unusual pages, pockets, tags, bookmarks, and a pen in the built-in pen holder.

Three signatures with a total of 136 writing pages, and some extra writing spots here and there.
Journal measures 9" high x 6-1/2" wide x 2" thick

I hope you are inspired
Thanks for watching
