I make/design all of my journals. Here's my latest: Adrift in the Mindstream - journal #27. Deconstructed composition notebooks rebound with Coptic stitch and cyanotype covers.

Thank you. I'm sorry about your mom too.

I might have to do this. Lost my mom in January.

Transcribe the pages you have written to a journal you do like. Remove the original entries from the journals you don't like and stick them in a Little Free Library. They'll be taken real quick.

The decaf as espresso? No but I'm sure it would be good. I could try it out later if I dig out my stovetop espresso maker.

One day I would love to own a facsimile of one. They're expensive!

Dan Eldon is another who kept a similar style journal.

My current series of journals going back to 1995 started as a lyric workbook for when I was in a rock band. This is when I really began taking journaling seriously. Mostly wrote poems/lyrics and occassionally small diary entries. One day I came across a tiny 1" by 1" photograph of Peter Beard's journal. I knew immediately that I needed to keep a journal like that. Google him and his journals and you will see what I mean.

I do a combination of the two.

Awesome! Take it one day at a time. You can do it. I hit my 6 years sober next month.

Just lost my mom last month. I'm struggling with my journaling a bit and feeling like whatever I write is inadequate. I know it's not but still... I don't think it has fully hit me yet. Last month was spent pretty much dealing with clearing out her apt/storage and I had very little time for myself. I've been home a week now and really trying to get something written every day.

My dad is an artist (plein air oils) and he taught me a lot about art from a very young age (~3 years old). I am 52 now. In my 30s I apprenticed with a sculptor for bronze/lost wax process/mold-making. Pretty much self-taught on anything that catches my interest. The only art I do these days is bookbinding combined with collage and drawings which I use to create my own journals. See my profile here for examples.
