A5 - Refillable Large Mixed Media Journal - Dyed, Kraft Paper, and Painted Pages
You are unique. Your thoughts, the images that pop into your head, the things you experience, and your words: believe in them. I never want anyone to think a journal is “too precious” for their words. Your words ARE precious because you are! You are rare and individual and deserve a journal to match that eccentric and eclectic energy to give to others!
I didn’t photograph every page but I wanted to show how every page is not your standard copy paper. The pages are a combination of coffee dyed, tea dyed, and “rain” tea dyed papers (where I left paper in the rain with a variety of herbs and then allowed it to dry), some are painted magazine pages with spray paint—which provides a fun tooth for different media, and also kraft paper.
The covers are made out of polymer clay and varnished with a polyurethane varnish. They are attached together with two 3-ring book rings—however, sometimes these do come undone and I will include extra in case that happens! The perk of using these book rings is that you can remove and/or add whatever paper that you want to inside the journal cover, to use multiple times or increase the thickness with larger book rings. Each journal has some tucks, pockets, a belly band, and a few flips here and there.
Originally I was going to try and write this description more creatively—alas, I genuinely got excited talking about the journal as is, with all of its parts and glory.
This journal is an A5 journal size: 5-7/8 x 8-1/4 in (see photo with ruler—I tried to get close-ups because the lens sometimes warps the photo and it won’t show exactly where the edges are lining up against the ruler). This journal has 32 sheets—64 pages when you count the sheets front and back.
