A journal must be inspiring in many ways.  If you have an old notebook, it won’t beckon, can never become a proper muse.  But with a proper journal sitting within sight, you feel compelled to write.  The more you write, the better you become – not only as a writer but as a person.  Figments Studio has a way of inspiring the writer within.  I have had the pleasure of getting to know a handcrafted journal from Figments Studio, and I can tell we’ll be longtime friends.

This particular journal is from their Large Frame collection.  As with all the journals, it is crafted to appear like an old leather book, timeworn and cherished.  Designer Jill Marie Crvich has been inspired by medieval books and Grimm’s Fairy Tales.  Each design was originally hand sculpted, then resin cast.  The covers have been hand painted and the pages are a wonderful natural tan acid-free recycled paper; the pages are gilded, the care in each detail apparent.  

I was immediately impressed with the detail that went into the packaging.  If you’re looking for a grad gift or something really special to give someone, you must take a moment to visit Figments Studio.  The box in which the journal is presented is one you’ll definitely keep.  Beautiful tissue, wax seals, ribbons – the works.  Even the address label on my package was in calligraphy.  It’s an inspiring journal from start to finish.

Hark! I believe a giveaway approacheth!  Dare I think it?  Yes, so it is – a Once Upon a Time Journal Gift Set ($99.95 retail) from the land of Figments Studio.  And what doth it contain?  One journal in a beautiful gift box, a pen box, an inkwell penholder, a classic feather pen, and even some vintage photo corners.  Woudst thou care to winneth it?  Perchance to dream….  (Flourish a sword here if you have one.)

  8. I am fascinated by handmade writing journals, myself an almost life-long diarist. Usually journals fall apart if they’re not leather, and I have owned very few leather journals deserving of posterity! Which is why “Musings,” a Small Framed Journal, looks exquisite! It belongs in a historic time, it looks that authentic. I would be proud to own it! Thanks!

  40. Oh my goodness. My little heart is just going thump, thump, thump over the Once Upon A Time Journal. Talk about inspiration! It’s it strange what a big difference your writing materials make as far as the story to be told.
    I don’t think I could write a story on toilet paper and therefore, I am being held back until I get a journal of this caliber. The whole world could be losing out.
    You don’t want that guilt, do you?

    I tweeted the giveaway but that’s sorta like cuttin’ my own throat. However, in the interest of the hostess and the sponsor, I’ve done the deed.
