So for the last week or so, I've been working on four different custom journals for my friend, Catherine. Each one is going to be a gift for someone on graduation day. Catherine sent me a list of each person's likes and interests so that the journal could be tailor-made to their aesthetic. This one was for someone who liked the prairie, the midwest, beige and red, and the woods.
:: cover ::
:: vintage sewing pattern ::
:: old book page and printed ephemera ::
:: turn over this page and there's a surprise ::
:: a pocket in the back with small notebook ::
Each book is made with one of a kind inclusions. For example, the pocket above was part of a handprinted banner I received as a gift. I regularly scout for old picture books at the thrift store to add to my collection of paper bits.
If you would like to commission a journal like this, please contact me for more information.
Stay tuned for Journal # 2...
Dear Marianne,

All the best,
