I first started playing with the concept of making a journal when the journal I was using stopped being readily available on Amazon. I couldn’t find anything local that was made with 160gsm and the search became frustrating. From concept to holding the first one in my hands has been a long, but rewarding journey and it’s finally here. Introducing: The Evelyn. The first journal from Dawn Fox.
It is designed, printed, and bound right here in Chatham-Kent, Ontario, which was incredibly important to me. Originally I was going to bind them all by hand and only make them for myself, but with a little nudge from some helpful people, (thank-you Jill), Dawn Fox Studio was born.
Inside this journal you will find a key (with space for colour codes and washi tape), a three-page index, and 160 pages of dotted paper ready for your creativity. It is hard-cover, coptic-stitch-bound and has one ribbon for book marking. It is durable and won’t let you down. I can add a pen-holder for a small fee upon request.
The paper is 160gsm multi-media paper. It is smooth enough for pen but has a “bite” that will accept ink, acrylic paint, oil based pens and other medium. Copic markers will ghost if not used with a very light touch but water-based products are ideal. The dots are light grey and placed 5mm apart.
I am both pleased and proud to present this to you in our shop, now available for pre-order. We expect to have the first full order in our hands by mid-may. Thank you to everyone who has made it possible to get this far! Your encouragement and support has meant the world to me.
