This weekend, in addition to a family movie outing to see Sherlock Holmes: a Game of Shadows, we took a little detour to Barnes and Noble, where my sister-in-law and I did some journal shopping. She found one with illustrated pages, which should really spark some creativity. I kept going back and forth and finally settled on old faithful: a black, softcover Moleskine with unlined pages and just the right size for sticking in my purse.
Since a black cover is not inspirational to me at all, I've been looking at photos of decorated Moleskines on Etsy and the web. Here are some that I love:
Alice in Wonderland moleskine by OrchidsHeart on Etsy - this would have been my dream journal in 2009, which was the year of my Alice obsession thanks to Syfy and Tim Burton.
Silhouette moleskine by Tarashton on Etsy. This could have been "the one" the year I read all of Jane Austen's novels.
Amazing Ideas moleskine by Emily (available here on Etsy)
Emily also makes a Harry Potter moleskine... love it!
Map of Paris moleskine by Movetheneedle on Etsy
Feather moleskine by Sue Brown. My favorite so far, but I'm not sure my art skills are at that level!
Do you keep a paper journal? Have you ever tried art journaling?
love that silhouette moleskin! how pretty
