What You Make of It Journal

Here's a companion for your journey that captures the beauty of an intentional life without smoothing over the messy in-betweens. Close-ups of a richly textured, colorful mosaic made from broken ceramics grace the covers of our What You Make of It Reclaimed Art Journal. (Front and back show different sections of the mosaic.)

On the front is a poem that could fit in an espresso cup—presented in a creative, non-linear style with words and phrases overlaid on separate ceramic pieces so that you can put them together in whatever way is most meaningful for you.

One way to read it:
"as you gather
sift through
rearrange
the pieces of yourself
you are made new"

(To see a variation on this theme, check out our Mosaic Reinvention Journal.)

Bullet Journal style and welcoming of small and large handwriting alike, rather than being constrained by fully defined lines, the pages are subtly dotted in a grid-like pattern (similar in scale to standard graph paper). This gives you the flexibility to frame, mark, and process your journey in multiple ways. Aside from filling the page with edge-to-edge writing, you can:

• Include hand-drawn maps and itineraries
• Visually depict your time, money, and energy budgets
• List highlights, goals, pros/cons, and things you're grateful for
• Create tables to organize your thoughts and observations or track numbers
• Sketch out ideas, doodle, and draw diagrams
• Design flow charts
• Brainstorm in a web/cluster style
• Turn the pages at an angle and write in different directions

Use the dots as a guide or ignore them—in this versatile journal, you have the freedom to choose!

• 140 dotted pages
• Size: 5.25″ × 8.25″ (13 × 21 cm)
• Flexible, soft covers with soft-touch coating
• Metal wire-o binding

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
