A Perpetual Journal Practice

Notes

This is both a how-to book about keeping a perpetual journal (where you have a single page spread for a unit of time, like a week, and then return to it year after year during that week) as well as a full representation of one of Lara's sketchbooks. I've been a fan of her work for a long time (we traded a website for an original painting back in like 2005!) and so it's delightful to see how its progressed and refined. Beautiful stuff.
