Beautiful Work
I collect journals, especially unique ones, and I also collect bird figurines in pottery, ceramic and glass and bird paintings. The kingfisher is one of my favorites because it is so colorful. Artisan Asha Prabha has done a masterful job with this handmade paper journal. The back cover reproduces an antique postcard.
Exotic Gift
These were gifts for my nieces - I ordered two sets. They always wonder what Aunt Mer got them for Christmas - because I always send them something from Novica! They started trying to figure out what the paper was made of and how... They grew curious about the people who made the journals and researched! It's safe to say, they were enchanted. Since Christmas, the older of the two uses one regularly as a journal and the other for creative writing. The younger one writes and draws in hers. My brother had to convince them to start using them - they both regarded them more as objects of art than journals! I'm glad they got past that, but it does speak volumes about the beauty of these journals.
