#blank journals

[pistilbooksonline]

Pistil Books creates our own line of blank books and journals made from discarded library books.

Most of the old library books that we use have a library binding made from buckram, a stiff, durable cloth made from cotton or linen. Library buckram bindings are made in bright colors and multi-colored patterns, and are easy to wipe clean after marred by borrower's dirty hands. Often children's library books previous to the seventies had an illustration printed on the buckram cover.

These books are marked by the library with stamps, stickers, bar codes, pockets, and the like, I find these very markings and institutional traces to be charming and sometimes beautiful.

Some of the library markings that have their own special appeal are the perforated stamp, spelling out the library name in tiny holes, the stickers from the maker of library bindings - often in a metallic paper, with cool names like "Bound to Stay Bound," notices and warnings of fines to the library borrower, and instructions on the proper treatment of books.

Lang’s Fairy Books ~ Paperblanks Journals in Violet and Olive

Figure I'd share my very silly attempt at customizing my journal with yall! I'm no traditional artist, by ANY means, so Wally came out quite a bit shaky. But that's okay! It adds to the charm, I think!

I had the pleasure of making this blank notebook for a supporter on Ko-fi. They wanted something similar to the Golden Flowers notebook I made previously, but with a black spine. When I had initially made the Golden Flowers notebook, I had intended to do a black spine, but ran out of materials doing other commissions. So thank you for allowing me to fulfill this vision I had years ago! It looks just as good as I imagined it would back then ☺️

i saw a handwriting post that i cant find now but they left people out so heres a few more!:

bruce: batman and bruce have completely different handwriting styles, hell matches malone has a different writing style. bruce is the mfer that hearts his i's, handwriting so round and fun that it should be exclusively written in sparkly pink pen, batman is spiky and sharp that is more chicken scratch than anything (its really hard to write in the gloves okay leave him alone)

steph: okay and hear me out with this one, all caps and all of the letters are exactly the same height, like people have told her that her handwriting is "serial killer esq" before and she almost punched that person, like bruce she has a separate handwriting for in costume and its how people expect her to write, purple ink with super curly w's and all (she does this For the Bit)

duke: duke doesn't print, like... ever, he probably Has a print handwriting but no ones' ever seen it, duke exclusively writes in cursive like the old man teenager he is, his handwriting is absolutely unreadable unless you're used to reading cursive i.e. alfred is the only person who can actually read it lmao, duke also at some point probably gets his hands on like a UV ink pen, something he can read no problem but other people need tools to read

babs: you know that girl (this person was almost always a girl lets be real) who had just the most pinterest perfect handwriting you suddenly knew you were very different genres of people? yeah and even when she's rushing it still comes out print perfect

alfred: similar to duke script writing Only, his is more readable that duke's to someone who isn't used to cursive but the fact that he only writes with a fountain pen does make it a little challenging.

My spirit track blank spread!! Super excited to play this game, especially since I loved the gamestyle of Phantom Hourglass. I also heard Zelda is an actual important character and not some damsel in distress so I'm sooo excited.

Just take a walk

And meet me halfway across the neighboring town at 3 AM

It only took me nine hours and thirteen miles by foot

I don’t want to go home, but I can’t go back

Just take a walk Walk of some steam And let the night lend you to dream

Of a world without that walk

Au where Ford didn't have a metal plate installed in his head and his mind gets erased and his memory doesn't come back call it the blank journals au.

Mabel tries to remind him of who he is through the journals but he doesn't remember. Stan now has to take care of him.

Send me asks about it I beg 😭I have so many ideasss.
