The Curated Journal

Hey there everyone! This is where I feature some of my handmade Journals, Lapbooks & Folios as I am working on them.

​

I present my new journals, lap books and folios with a flip through on our YouTube Channel as they are finished. I state the time and date that they are to be listed for sale in the video and description. They are listed in my Etsy shop: TheCuratedJournal which I reserve for these pieces, not Inky Fingers Society which contains our hand made and vintage junk journal supplies.

I list them on Etsy approximately 7 days after I post the flip through. 

If you would like to speak for a piece before it is listed on Etsy, you can message me and I will invoice you through www.InkyFingersSociety.com. If the invoice remains open at the time of listing, it will automatically go up on Etsy on a first come, first serve basis.

What I'm Working On

Arrow

THE DREAM

An extra-large, tri-fold lapbook that includes a full journal, folios, a chalkboard and a Zhen Xian Bao covered with antique silk.

The outer cover is covered with fabric and stitching. The inner folios are decorated with 24kt gold leaf.

The entire lapbook measures 30cm x 30cm x 10cm or 11.5" x 11.5" x 4".

I will keep updating here as the work progresses! 

Bespoke Services

Let’s work together to create your dream journal, lap book or folio. Just message me and we’ll get the ball rolling. 

What’s your style? Eclectic, strictly authentic, antique and vintage or a cross between steampunk and botanical? What will you use it for? Writing, art journaling, memory keeping?

What’s your palette? Neutrals, dark baroque, monochrome? Shapes, styles, colors, interactivity, personalization, the possibilities are endless. So let’s get started!

A few things to keep in mind:

  • I will have you fill out a questionnaire so that I am better able to design a piece for you. If you prefer to allow me to design your piece start to finish without input, please let me know at the onset.  

  • I am very open to adding your personally items, ephemera, photos etc. to your piece. All items are treated with the utmost respect and care.

  • I do not reproduce pieces that I have created for or have been purchased by other clients under any circumstances. All of my journals, lap books and folios are exclusively OOAK (One Of A Kind).  If you are interested in one of my past creations, we can work together on using a particular style to create something new and just for you.

  • I have a few slots left for 2023 delivery, once those are full, I will open slots for 2024 starting in February.

  • For wedding/bride journals, I need a six month lead time.

  • Once we have agreed on the design, delivery date and pricing, I require a 30% deposit to begin work on your piece. I will invoice you through www.InkyFingersSociety.com for the deposit, the remaining amount will be invoiced upon completion of your piece. I do not ship items unless they are paid in full.

  • All bespoke pieces are shipped for free and fully insured within the U.S., international shipments are charged by weight and fully insured.

  • I use a massive variety of materials from 24kt gold leaf to antique Swarovski to junk mail envelopes on their way to the dust bin. However, I do not use digitals or printables unless I have created them my self. All of the coffee/tea dyed papers, hand made ephemera, in my pieces are made by me. All vintage and antique papers, ephemera, etc. have been collected by my self over the span of 25+ years while living in Europe and the U.S.

  • I create a beautiful keepsake box for each and every one of my pieces which includes an antique scarf, fabric or lace wrap at no extra charge.
