USES
This truly luxe ledger shaped journal is kept encased in a copper and glass shadow box to display in your home, inspire and spark conversation, but most of all to be filled up with art, words, dried flowers or snippets of anything your heart desires. Although I made this journal with a painter in mind, it would make an equally beautiful wedding guest book or a journal for writing poetry, quotes or prayers.
