This is a
one-of-a-kind journal upcycled from a discarded
volume of "The Child's World" encyclopedia,
"Countries and Their Children." I left the
cover primarily as I found it but with some pages
from the original book peeking around the edges and
with orange bias tape strips to serve as anchors for
the binding.

 |
I
bound the pages into the book cover using long and
kettle stitches. These are visible on the
spine. The book block (a term meaning all the
pages of a book as a whole) contains six signatures
(a term for groups of pages folded together). |

 |
I include out-of-context quotes from the
original book on several of the pages. These can be used 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.

I used pages from the original book on the inside front and back covers and to reinforce the spine. |
 |
Looped
ribbon on the inside back cover can be used as a pen
holder. (The pen is included.) On the last page is my unique signature medallion, which also indicates the year I made the book. |

I
include a paper bookmark listing the book's main
features. Dimensions of the journal are approximately 10.25" x 7" x 1.25". |
