This one-of-a-kind journal is upcycled
from a discarded copy of Leo Tolstoy's Anna
Karenina.
I used a vintage photo of an unknown woman and lace ribbon to embellish the cover. The lace ribbon also serves to anchor the long and kettle stitch binding, visible on the spine. |

The pages of the journal are made
from "water-stressed" paper. To water stress I
hand tear each page along a straight edge and then dip
it in acrylic-colored water for a few minutes. I
then hang the page on a folding clothes rack to
dry. I like not only the look of water stressing
but also the sound and feel when I write on it.
A multi-sensory experience! |

I
include out-of-context quotes from the original book
on several of the pages for use as writing prompts. |
|
|
 |
Writers may react for or against the prompts
or ignore them all together. |

Or they
may use the quote as the starting point for a
meandering thought journey. |

 |
Note: I give the page number of each quote, when available, and list the publication information on the last page of the journal. |
 |
The covers are
lined with pages from the original book. On the
inside back cover is my unique signature medallion,
which also shows the year I made the book. The journal has attached beaded ribbon bookmarks. |
