Event Summary
Moments are not like traditional journals full of blank pages waiting to be filled. Instead, they are already full of beautiful papers, trims, and ephemera from antique, vintage or contemporary sources. These journals are meant to capture ideas and memories and moments in time. There are flip outs, flip ups, pockets, tucks and envelopes where notes and memorabilia can be hidden in plain sight. A little like a scrapbook, a little like a journal, a little like a notebook, Moments are meant to be explored and used and enjoyed.
My intention with this show has been to discover creative ways to bind the pages together and to express as many different styles as possible within the overall vintage vibe that I prefer. You’ll find everything from Steampunk to Shabby Chic among these Moments. One Moment journal takes about a month to complete. Each is unique but the making process is essentially the same. First, I decide on a story or theme for the journal usually inspired by something I’ve seen or read. Then, I become a hunter-gatherer sourcing digital designs, papers, trims, hardware, and other items from a variety of makers and countries. I decide on size, binding technique, and covers and then I usually hand dye papers at least some of the papers with coffee or tea. All images that are not my own are either public domain or used with permission.
