Junk Journal : Fruits, Orchard, Gardening, Rainbows, Dad Jokes : Repurposed

Description: This is a handsome stripey rust-colored journal with brown striations, made entirely from scrap, handcrafted from heavy cardstock cut to size, bookbinder's cover, PH neutral bookbinder's glue, recycled book ephemera, blank/colored/graphing pages, and string-bound signatures. The cover can be stamped or embossed as you see fit, to personalize it. Total page count is approximately 120. Overall measurements are 7h x 5w x just over d. A small journal for your bookbag, with a good feel to its weight. Sharp corners, rigid binding, and very clean. For the writer or sketch artist, there are plenty of pages that are blank or minimally decorated. Would also work well as a personal note journal, black book, poetry book, travel companion, general list space, etc. Fill it with a letter to a loved one! I find that people don't generally pull these off the shelf to flip through them, so they stay relatively private. ;) I like these for poetry journals, writing down quotes, musicians, artists, authors, movies, things to research later, passing thoughts, phone numbers, etc, and it's fun to go through my old journals years later to see what interested me at the time. I try to use pages that are of substantial weight, and limit my use of glossy or thin pages, so it makes for a durable writing experience and every page is useable. Sometimes you'll find printing labels on the glossy pages, so they can be written on, or voice-bubbles added to the characters. PAGES/THEMES: X, models, candidates, apple trees, fruit trees, old lady, thin cow, volcanic smoke billows, dino fossils, horse rider, foreign language, sheetmusic, railroad maps, origami, top hat, grasshoppers & bugs, rancho, radar, kingdom, 1933 MG car diagrams, fantastic, certificate, flowers, rainbow, orange, rulers, woodworking blueprints, kitchen bar cart. Strong gardening/orchard vibes. Strong dad vibes. Maybe a good blankety-blank dad joke journal..? This one has a library card pocket affixed in the back cover, for bookmarks, cropped photos, notes, recipes, or poetry in the works. There are a good handful of original pages from textbooks/storybooks/etc reworked into this one. Words can be circled throughout to tell something subliminal. But still lots of blank space within. This item was handmade within the last six months and has been delicately stored. My M/O: I'm a book surgeon and paper afficionado. I love rescuing old books that have been discarded/damaged/decommissioned and repurposing them into functional works of art. My goal is to save them and give them a new life. These take a lot of time to construct, and I try to price them accordingly. I take great effort to make each one unique, and sometimes themed (subliminally or otherwise). My stash books & junk journals make thoughtful gifts, as there will never be another that's identical. :) Please be sure to ask questions prior to bidding/buying, as refunds are not offered on these auctions. I always charge just a small amount for shipping and then cover any overages myself. US buyers only, please. Thanks kindly for looking, and for supporting an indie artist!
