INNER LANDSCAPE JOURNALS are hand marbled, hand stitched and one of a kind blank journals and nature writing prompts made for your writing and reflecting, inspired by patterns and reflections in the landscape seen and felt from flowers around chicago, illinois.
the journals begin with breath and ink: using the japanese process of suminagashi paper marbling, ink is suspended on the water's surface, moved by breath or tool.
the covers of each INNER LANDSCAPE JOURNAL are gently laid on the water's surface, then lifted. each collection of colors is mixed; each design is one of a kind.
once dried, each journal cover is folded around a gathering of blank, cream toned papers, then bound by hand using traditional bookbinding techniques, and finished on a table-top guillotine cutter.
inside of each journal is an expanse of forty blank, smooth, soft white pages for your thoughts, reflections, and connection to the landscape.
