This is a
one-of-a-kind journal, upcycled from a rescued
January, 1976, National Geographic magazine.
As you can see, I'm not kidding about being rescued;
a previous owner apparently rested their coffee cup
on the magazine, I imagine one lazy Sunday afternoon
in the depths of winter.

I use a glue-based drum-fold technique to
bind the new journal pages into the magazine
cover. This means each page is made up of two
pieces of paper glued together. The pages will
therefore resist bleed through if the writer/artist
uses markers. The paper has a
surface shine similar to regular magazine paper. |

I have included out-of-context quotes from
the original text on several of the pages. Writers may use the quotes as writing prompts for inspiration or reflection, |

Or simply as
places to begin a meandering thought journey. |

I give the page number of each quote when
available. The publication information appears
on the inside front cover. |

I have
reinforced the cover of the magazine with orange
card stock and hand torn each paper along a
straight-edge ruler to give the pages a rough
texture when viewed from the side. I have preserved both the inside and outside covers of the magazine, including the advertising! On the inside back cover is also my unique signature medallion, which states the year I made the book. |
