It started with an old book — edges worn, pages soft from time. I saw a story still living inside it, waiting to be transformed. With each brush of paint and every stitched thread, it began to breathe again — layered with color, texture, and quiet intention.
I’ve always been drawn to the imperfect things, the ones that whisper of history and hands that once turned their pages. Creating these journals feels like tending to small pieces of the past, giving them a new purpose, a new heart.
Each one reminds me that transformation is beautiful — that what’s weathered can still shine. This journal carries that energy: a reminder to slow down, create with love, and do what you love, and love what you do.

Do What You Love” Altered Art Journal — Mixed Media Handmade Book
Once an old book, now a one-of-a-kind mixed media journal — richly layered with metallic paints, textured finishes, and vintage fabrics in shades of bronze, teal, gold, and black.
Wrapped in frayed linen with metallic stitching and adorned with pearls, bells, and ribbons, this piece feels both rustic and magical. A small handmade fabric charm and tag remind you to:
"Do what you love, love what you do.”
Designed by Maria Van-Tintelen in Trowbridge
