The Perfect Earth-Friendly Journal, created with flowers, sunshine and recycled paper.

I created this gorgeous journal because I really do believe your words are worth it!

Part of my 8” by 10” collection of journals, a wonderful size for a journal, it’s as wide as A4, but not quite so tall, so there’s plenty of space for your writing, for sketches, even for scrap-booking.

The covers are original cyanotype prints, which is an Eco-friendly art form.

The subjects for my artwork are wildflowers or flowers from my garden, which Nature produces for me in abundance!

And I use the sun to develop the prints … as an energy source, you can’t get more sustainable than that!
The covers feature Black-Eyed Susans and Nigella from my Garden.

I used some Jardin Turquoise ink, as well as some Winsor and Newton Gold ink to add a dash of sparkle! I also used salt in the wet cyanotype developing process, because this gives a wonderful crystalising effect.

To create the cover prints, I used Fabriano Tiziano art paper in a lovely blue called Acqua Marina.

The inside covers are made using handmade airmail blue Nepalese Lokta Paper, which has a lovely soft feel and the natural plant fibres can be easily seen.

For this journal I have used cyanotype print spine wraps, which look beautiful when your book is standing on a shelf.
This is not just a unique journal, it’s a work of art.
