Here are a couple of hardware details I've added to the Li'l Traveler kits I've assembled.

 
Functional closure, hand-fabricated


Here I've taped a grid onto the black canvas.
The grid serves as a resist to the paint I'll apply.
-- Christine Cox

The real value of a great journal is measured in durability and ease-of-use. The Traveler and Li'l Traveler are 2 books that you can count on during a rough trip or for day-to-day business. They are full of thoughtful extras like a flap that doubles as a closure or page marker, heavy text paper to minimize bleed-through and Velcro closures to keep the book closed and to protect the paper within. The books open flat for comfortable writing.

The books are also a springboard for creativity. Both come in either natural (off-white) or black canvas that you can paint and stamp for your own distinctive look. Using your acrylic paints helps resist water and staining. We also offer the kit in black/khaki hard-wearing denim. That's more practicality than one usually expects from such a beautiful book. Accent your journal with some of those fantastic beads you've been hording and it becomes a personalized favorite. Check out some samples in our Idea Center.

The original Traveler features 2 blocks of  text weight paper. Li'l Traveler has 1 block of text weight paper.

Shown here is our black Original Traveler. Note the 2 text blocks and the protective flap closure. This sample was painted with Lumiere acrylic paints using torn masking tape as a mask.
