Upcycled materials transformed into journals for the passionate and playful mind.
"Every living thing speaks of fire,
Now I see why I worshipped you, without regret.
like an answer. You who took and bestowed my charms
My mouth filled with thirst.
I'd admire you. O arsonist,
burning down the scalded air.
wanting only to be fed,
the way a forest feeds on fire. I fear you
though I keep you like a fever."
Pain Pages are often made in a time of crisis. These pages are filled with chaotic, emotional, cathartic energy. They are filled with tears, screams, and whispers of pain felt at the creation time.
"Erasure poetry, also known as blackout poetry, is a form of found poetry wherein a poet takes an existing text and erases, blacks out, or otherwise obscures a large portion of the text, creating wholly new work from what remains.
Erasure poetry may be used as a means of collaboration, creating a new text from an old one and thereby starting a dialogue between the two, or as a means of confrontation, a challenge to a pre-existing text." - Poets.Org
NOT for resale
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.
