About Bookmarks & Personalized Journals
I paint every bookmark and journal cover by hand using 300 GSM watercolor paper or rustic kraft paper, so no two pieces are ever identical. If you have a specific quote that got you through a hard week or a floral motif that reminds you of your favorite place, tell me about it and I will incorporate that exact vibe into your stationery.
Whether you are a bibliophile looking for the perfect page marker or someone who loves the texture of real paper for daily journaling, I treat these items as tiny canvases. My bookmarks are crafted on heavy 300 GSM watercolor paper, finished with satin ribbons, and feature original illustrations—no mass-produced prints here. I use gouache and micron pens to add depth to the florals and typography.
For my journals, I use eco-friendly, unruled kraft paper. This gives you the creative freedom to doodle, write, or stick in memories without the constraint of lines. The covers feature hand-drawn wreaths, mandalas, or lettering.
The process is collaborative. You might want a journal personalized with a name, a specific 'less is more' quote, or perhaps a theme based on your favorite book series. I often use corner cutters for a clean, professional finish, and I hate wasting supplies, so I regularly turn paper scraps into beautiful gift tags. Because everything is painted to order in my Bengaluru studio, I can tailor the colors and motifs to match your aesthetic, whether you prefer minimalist line art or vibrant, pattern-heavy designs.
