Commission a Journal

Send me a piece of clothing that means something — a parent's shirt, a grandmother's dress, a child's first outfit, a wedding piece — and I'll turn it into a hand-bound watercolor journal.

The result is irreplaceable. One cover, one story, made by hand. It can't be remade because the fabric can't be re-sourced. That's the point.

How It Works

01

Send an inquiry

Use the contact form and tell me about the garment — what it is, who it belonged to, and what you'd like the journal to be used for. I take a limited number of commissions each month.

02

We agree on details

I'll confirm the timeline (typically 3–4 weeks), pricing, and any specific preferences — journal size, paper weight, binding style.

03

You ship the fabric

Send the garment (or a piece of it) to my studio. I'll give you a shipping address when we confirm the commission.

04

I make the journal

I cut, prep, and hand-bind the journal from your fabric. I'll send photos during the process if you'd like to see it take shape.

05

I ship it back to you

The finished journal ships with any remaining fabric and a card about what was made and how. Signed.

Pricing

Commission pricing starts at $120for a mini watercolor journal with a single-fabric cover. Pricing varies based on journal size, binding complexity, and shipping. I'll confirm the exact price when we agree on details.
