My  junk journals are all individual handmade books created using a mix of recycled and repurposed materials. Unlike traditional journals, which are typically composed of blank or lined pages, junk journals are eclectic and  filled with a variety of papers, fabrics, and ephemera. My materials include old book pages, vintage papers, tea dyed papers, scrapbook papers, fabric scraps, envelopes, greeting cards, buttons, lace, and more. My journals contain plenty of writing space along with writing cards, pockets, and tuck spaces to provide extra room for creativity and storage. They also contain a lot of little surprises throughout! The result is a unique, tactile, and visually appealing journal that can reflect many different themes. A junk journal is a wonderful way to combine creativity, resourcefulness, and self-expression. Each journal is a one-of-a-kind piece that evolves over time, reflecting your unique journey and artistic growth. This journal features mermaids!! The closure is a lace ribbon holding a mermaid charm, that circles around a button.
