Before you embark on a journaling adventure of any kind (art journal, junk journal, sketchbook, travel journal, or just a loosely held-together collection of random information), you need something to make it with, and most of it is already around you: in your recycling, your kitchen drawers, the people you love, the walk to the shops.

For twelve days I’ll send you a short video and a page of the workbook. We’ll buy a small kit, forage the rest, and make what’s missing: dyed papers, ink mists, texture paste, a hand-bound junk journal, an altered book and a prepared notebook.

By the end you’ll have a complete journaling kit, and you’ll have bought very little.

Nothing here needs to be new. It only needs to be yours.
