Refined, tactile, and thoughtfully constructed, this handmade journal by Philadelphia artist Hilary Henwood transforms reclaimed materials into a functional piece of everyday art. The cover features a designer-inspired pattern accented with a classic red and green stripe detail, giving the piece a timeless, elevated look. Rather than mass-produced materials, Hilary repurposes and reworks existing textiles, creating a cover that feels both familiar and entirely unique. Inside, the journal is filled with thick, high-quality paper stock, offering a satisfying surface for writing, sketching, or creative exploration. Each page has a subtle texture that holds ink well, making it ideal for pens, pencils, and light mixed media use. Balancing structure and spontaneity, this piece reflects Hilary’s ability to merge craft, sustainability, and design into something both practical and expressive. ✨ Details Artist: Hilary Henwood (Philadelphia, PA) Dimensions: 9.5 x 6.25 inches Medium: Handmade journal with reclaimed textile cover Paper: Thick, textured stock suitable for writing and sketching Binding: Hand-assembled Cover Design: Designer-inspired pattern with stripe accent Condition: New, handmade original ♻️ What Makes It Special 📓 Functional Art – a usable journal that doubles as a crafted object ♻️ Upcycled Materials – reimagined textiles given new life 🧵 Handmade Construction – each piece is unique ✍️ Premium Paper Feel – thicker stock for a satisfying writing experience 📍 Philadelphia-Made – created by a local artist and educator 💛 About the Artist Hilary Henwood is a Philadelphia-based artist who works across collage, textiles, and bookmaking.
