The front cover features an organic design created with plant dyes to infuse the unique \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eimprints of plant magic, both metaphorically and visually. Every step in creating the journal, from the initial collection of plant materials to the final binding, is intentionally undertaken. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv draggable=\"false\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\" data-en-clipboard=\"true\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Story of Hummingbird Sage \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e(color variation in blush\/warm grey): \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eUnlike other native sages that prefer direct sun, Hummingbird Sage often grows in the understory of ancient oak trees in the Santa Monica Mountains. Though they quietly fill the shady spots in the canyon with their soft leaves, once they bloom, their presence is unmistakable as the deep magenta flowers attract pollinators such as hummingbirds. When steeped, their leaves produce a blush-pink tea with a mild fragrance and a gentle flavor. Their attributes are calming, supportive, and restorative.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv draggable=\"false\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\" data-en-clipboard=\"true\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Story of White Sage \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e(color variation in cool grey): \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eWhite Sage is an important ceremonial tool for local indigenous tribes. With its distinct presence both in fragrance and color, White Sage graciously cleanses the space and creates a container for sacredness. As wild foraging is discouraged to respect the White Sage's cultural significance to indigenous people and to ensure the species' survival in the wild, White Sage used to create Botanical Resonance journals is a generous gift from family and friends' gardens. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlant Story of Mugwort (color variation in amber): \u003c\/b\u003eAn image of a wise and hardy grandmother figure emerges when the name \"Mugwort\" is called. Mugwort is a support for dreamwork and is an earthy gift of abundance and resilience. It can be steeped as tea or dried and stuffed in a sachet. We love placing a small sachet of dried Mugwort in our pillows to welcome its nighttime magic. Often growing next to Poison Oak along canyon creekside, oil from Mugwort leaves can help ease skin irritation that occurs when you come in contact with Poison Oak. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe hope that these notebooks, with their unique resonance, will land in your hands at the right time and in the right place, bringing both the joy of journaling and medicine from the natural world into your everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Plant-dyed Paper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInside Paper:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eStrathmore Natural White. 24lb Writing (fountain pen friendly) \/\/ Blank\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBinding Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coptic Binding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e8.25\" x 5.25\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePage Counts: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e96 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e❖\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDue to the handmade nature of the artifact, the exact dimensions may slightly vary by piece. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBK Original Hand-Bound Journals are handmade with love and care.
