Kathleen Fritz-Kathy’s Handmade Journals

Kathy makes each journal from recycled and upcycled materials, everything from discarded envelopes and candy boxes to paper bags, beer boxes, and leftover frame mattes. Every journal is handmade, hand-painted, and hand-bound, making each one truly unique.

Her work has been featured in Cloth, Paper, Scissors, Uppercase Art Journal, and Pages Creative Guide for Bookmaking. Even better? 100% of Kathy’s proceeds are donated to local charities, meaning each journal is a purchase with a purpose.
