01

Choose

Your ruling and a color of waxed linen thread, from the same shelf as the editions.

02

Fold

Flat 105 g sheets become an object between your hands.

Stitch

The thread you chose turns the stack into a book.

Paint and sign

A line in ink, a wash of color, a date, and a colophon signed by your hand.

A finished journal painted by hand: birds and berries in ink and color

What you leave with

A journal only you
could have made.

Folded, sewn, painted and signed by your own hand, on the same paper as the editions. A line-art template waits if a blank cover makes you nervous.
