Set of Three Pocket Journals - Portraits of Mary Shelley

Marbling is a distinguished practice, dating back to 10th-century Japan. The Japanese term for marbling, Suminagashi, translates to “floating ink.” The delicate, layered process of marbling was once thought to be a form of alchemy. These journals draw on the magical nature of human creativity to inspire you to find wonder and fresh eyes in everything, whether sketching a beautiful moment, scribbling an inspired poem, or ticking off items on the journey to reaching your dreams. Cherish these ornamental journals in which your favorite classic authors would have rejoiced to write.
