Polyanna

This one-of-a-kind journal is upcycled from a discarded copy of the novel "Polyanna: The Glad Book" by Eleanor Porter. On the front cover is my own original acrylic painting of a young girl--Polyanna herself? I bound the five signatures of pages (a term for groups of pages folded together) to the book cover using long and kettle stitches. These are visible on the spine. The pages of the journal are made from "water-stressed" paper. I include out-of-context quotes from the original book on several of the pages. These can be used as writing prompts.
