Paper Sampler Journals

The paper sampler journals are designed for those who want to try a variety of papers for writing and/or art journaling. Each journal is hand-bound into one signature (unless stated otherwise) using waxed linen thread. The covers are all one-of-a-kind painted pieces of mixed media artwork or they are blank. Each book is signed and numbered. All of Kiala's journals ship with a mixed media ephemera grab bags, handmade tabs, and a washi tape sampler. ​

The pages are all BLANK and ready for writing, journaling, and art. Each journal comes with approximately 72 - 82 pages and has at least 6 different papers included. These are great for those who want to try different papers without having to purchase all the paper types. Each journal comes with a basic pen (Kiala's choice), a grab bag filled with ephemera and goodies from Kiala's stash, a washi tape sampler, three handmade tabs, and a small pen testing pad.

When in stock, these journals are ready to ship.

These are NOT available for custom ordering.

Paper Sampler Journals range in size, but typically measure 6 wide x 9 inches tall.

NOTE: Your cover will be different from the ones in the photo.

This is the true definition of serendipity as each paper reacts differently depending on the pen or art supplies you use. Half the fun will be testing the papers and playing in your journal.
