Upcycled materials transformed into journals for the passionate and playful mind.
Do you ever see those notebooks with some random business name that no one wants? This is that. Recovered for my dog lovers!
A junk journal is a book often made with recycled paper, found or repurposed scraps, and old book covers.
We'll call it a metaphor for life. It's not about the junk we experience, accumulate, or project but about how we transform that junk into something worthwhile.
From forgotten words to adorned pages, each book transforms into something new. Your book becomes a safe space to sketch, write, collage, collect, and remember. By giving these unused pieces a second chance, there is hope to inspire creativity, limit waste, and nurture a love of the written word.
Handmade items can be made from old books, fabric, buttons, upcycled finds, random embellishments, paint, stained pages, and textures galore.
Much like ourselves, each book is fabulously flawed with a touch of beauty and chaos.
