This is a handmade junk journal, using a hardcover repurposed book as the cover - it has wear and tear and discoloration spots from its pervious life as a beloved book. It comes tied with a piece of sari ribbon.
It is handbound with a heavy duty waxed linen thread. The interior faces hotsell of the book are covered in handmade (specialty paper store bought) decorative papers, and the front has a pocket with a little tag bookmark.
After binding, there are about 35 pages in this book. Some pages have pockets with ephemera goodies I've made tucked inside, some fold out, etc. The pages consist of papers I have painted and some that I have collected - none of them are very thick. Please be careful pulling things in and out of pockets and unfolding pages so you do not damage your new journal!
This probably could go without saying, but this is a handmade product. The binding isn't machine-made perfect.. pages slightly warp and crinkle in a few places with glue.. glue may not be 100% exact absolutely everywhere.. etc. Most people probably would not notice or be bothered by the things I notice - artists always have a critical eye for their own work.
The full video of this book can be viewed on my @highgearsoul Instagram page. These books literally took months to make.. I've poured my heart and soul and an unbelievable amount of time into each one.. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
