Made several Travel Journal Art Books this past week. It’s a journey in itself where art takes an artist. I never thought to create a handmade book but once I started how could I not? Such an easy extension from my love of reading I wonder why I haven’t put together handmade books earlier.
Recycling Worldwide Maps and tough upholstery fabric create a lightweight journal that is easy to toss into your backpack for your next adventure or for kids off to Summer Camp.
Each page is about 5″ x 7″ with one side blank and the printed map on the reverse.
Pages have been chosen at random in random order to offer a variety of spaces for a variety of travel needs. Each of the pages offer longitude and latitude for searching where in the world some of the pages are.
Three different coordinating button and wax coated thread binding are available in my store on Etsy:

Thank you ever so much, I really did enjoy making them and encourage you to try making ones that you would love to use!
That’s awesome! I really want to make my own journals. Will visit your Etsy store.
Thank You!
Cool idea
