Slowing Down Art Journal made from textile waste | For mindfulness

In a world where we’re constantly consuming, this book is an invitation to slow down and take a few minutes to create something just for yourself, purely for the joy of it. Whether you’re an artist, an art enthusiast, or just someone who is seeking to be more present in your everyday life, Slowing Down will make you pause, reflect, and observe. 52 prompts — one for each week of the year. Or as frequently as you like.

When you’re done with this book, you’ll have a rich, unique record of at least 52 moments in your life when you were completely present in the moment, and a book full of art made in a way that only you can. There's also an introduction to visual journalling, and ideas to make your journal pages come alive! This book is a labor of love, heart-made and handmade. A piece of art in itself!

PS: The book is made from textile waste, and no trees were cut down to make the paper.
