I found a hand-tooled leather diary with “DIARY” stamped on the front, and it instantly felt like something straight out of the 1970s — private, handwritten, and deeply personal.
In this video, I transform that vintage leather cover into a one-of-a-kind junk journal, leaning into old-school “Dear Diary” nostalgia, slow crafting, and intuitive design.
This is junk journaling as memory-keeping — imperfect, tactile, and made to be held.
Dear Diary……
