The Barbara Art Journal
Inspired by Femininity and Creativity
The Barbara Art Journal is a tribute to my eldest sister whose creativity and nurturing spirit shaped much of my creative world as a child in the most beautiful ways. Though we are 15 years apart, my memories of her are rich with warmth — sitting beside her on the counter as she baked cookies, watching her skillfully cut and sew fabric to make me the most magical clothes, and seeing the detailed attention she poured into everything she did. From her, I learned the beauty of fabric and the excitement of creativity.
The Barbara Art Journal features a rustically elegant hand-stitched exposed spine, hard bound cover, and 100 pages of possibility. Measuring 4.5” W x 6” H, it’s portrait orientation is the perfect size to hold your sketches, your dreams, and your deepest thoughts. Every page invites you to create, to explore, to craft something beautiful.
Our carefully curated art journal features two exceptional paper types, both offering a unique tactile experience, perfect for capturing your artistic vision.
100% Virgin Egyptian Cotton Rag Paper with Deckled Edge:
Handcrafted from the finest cotton, this luxurious paper boasts a rustic, deckled edge that enhances the natural beauty of every creation. Its absorbent texture is perfect for a range of mediums—whether you're working with watercolor, acrylics, oils, or using it as a journal for writing. The rich, organic feel of this paper also makes it ideal for pressing delicate flowers between its pages, preserving nature’s fleeting beauty for generations to come.
Dry Mixed Media Paper:
For softer, more intimate works, our dry mixed media paper offers an unparalleled surface for sketches and soft pastel studies. With a slightly grainy texture that allows for delicate blending and smooth layering, this paper is perfect for dry mediums. Please note, this paper is not suitable for liquid mediums, but it excels in capturing the subtle nuances of graphite, charcoal, and soft pastels.
The Eva LaPrele Bindery art journals are not mass-produced, but rather carefully crafted by hand, each one carrying its own unique characteristics with heirloom quality that will endure for generations to come. They are more than an art piece—they are a legacy, waiting to be filled with the stories, dreams, and aspirations of today and tomorrow. Whether you're an artist, writer, or a gardener, let this journal be the canvas for your creativity.
