Purple Moon Journal

This journal was made with 2 sturdy canvas panels as the covers. It has a flexible spine made with handmade book cloth so it opens flat for ease of writing or sketching. It has an elastic to keep it closed when not in use or for travelling.

It arrives with 20lb bond paper and has a unique binding that makes it refillable with any type of paper you choose (water colour paper, sketch paper, scrap booking paper). This is a great size for a Book of Shadows, morning pages, a sketchbook or an artist journal.

Size: 9x7x2
Pages: 144
Cut Refill Paper to: 8 1/2x14[legal] [ 8 1/2x7 folded]

This journal has been decorated with a handmade paper, collage and painted with acrylic paints. The inside covers have been painted copper and distressed.

  3. I have always loved your covers. I have never used canvas panels for covers. I have a couple which seem to have warped. Do you never have that problem? I should take them out of the trash and use them for covers perhaps to experiement.

  4. Thanks so much for stopping by. I am so excited to be getting comments already lol!
    Suki-- I find it soo much easier to make journals with a sturdy already wrapped canvas panel... from there I can go anywhere. I try not to get them too too wet... I generally use a mix of matte medium & gel for gluing as it is thicker which helps offset the warping.
