About this Product
4x5 Journal
'Bound in Beauty' is a beautiful journal made with wooden covers, that is hand crafted using encaustic medium, pan pastels, and oil stick. The cover features deep grooves and a pattern that resembles a cascading waterfall. The earthy tones of rich amber, brown, and hints of purple give it a warm and inviting feel. The Coptic stitch binding adds a unique touch to this functional piece of art. This is not only a beautiful journal, but also a truly one of a kind piece of art.
This journal measures 4x5, and has 24 pages (48 sides) of 140lb/300gsm watercolor paper.

Meet the Maker
Color has always been my inspiration, whether dyeing fabric, creating monoprints or working with encaustic (wax medium). Color is the way I express who I am as an artist. All of my work is hand crafted. My wall hangs and encaustic journals are a one-of-a-kind piece of art, no two are alike. I love being able to share my love of color, fabric and wax through the creating of my wall hangings and journals.
How it’s Made
I start by layering the substrate with encaustic medium and add additional color using pan pastels and oil sticks. I continue layering encaustic medium, often creating texture using an accretion technique. I cut the sketch pages and create signatures that are sewn to the covers using a Coptic stitch.
