I have a limited edition of small journals with pink inside paper. They are in two small sizes that close with magnetic snaps under the leather. The pink paper is a subtle dusty rose paper that is handmade with deckled edges. This paper is available for custom orders as well.
These journals were created in celebration of the state of Kentucky! While I've considered making state journals for awhile, it was my long-time friend and fellow Kentuckian, Megan Morgan, who really pushed for me to create these. We both have done a bit of travelling and living elsewhere, but have surprised ourselves at how we continue to be drawn back here. I've heard similar stories from others who grew up in this state. There is something magical about the hills, the rivers, the pastures, the people. There truly is a growing KY pride, and these journals are meant to celebrate that.
Here is an excerpt from my interview with Bluegrass Boogaloo:
Apart from creating things, what do you do? / Is creating art your full-time job, or do you work outside of creating these magnificent items?
I create full-time, over-time, most of the time. I also write and read quite a bit while enjoying a cup of hot tea. I love frolicking through the woods, camping beneath the stars, and watching the moon’s travels. I look for adventures on a somewhat regular basis, dance frequently, and research whatever pops in my head.
Please describe your creative process.
Oh, well, this changes frequently. I have several lines of work now and tend to create what I need to fill orders, re-stock, etc. Then, *bam*, inspiration happens and I’m researching new shapes and histories on certain images and creating something new. This inspiration is more directly sought after when it comes to custom orders as I am working with a deadline; however, I appreciate the challenge and continue to be surprised at how fabulously it keeps “working”.
I've just made alot of new product available online. Be sure to check it out. Also, I am having an End of the Year SALE and have marked particular books down 20-35%. The photos below are examples of new product now up for grabs in my online shop. Happy Shopping!
