An ode to the Humble US Penny!
'Our 72nd quarterly edition for the Fall of 2026 is “Hunter’s Moon,” named for the first full moon after the harvest. Known for the bright and warm light it casts on newly gleaned fields, the appearance of the Hunter’s Moon serves as a mindful call to prepare for the quieter months ahead. Light a candle and fill the pages of this 2-Pack, that includes a journal and sketchbook, with your autumnal words and images.
BETWEEN MEMORIES AND THOUGHTS
'Inspired in part by Ted Kooser’s lovely poem, “Abandoned House,” artist Laura Weiler created the dream-like artwork for the covers using a unique gel plate method of monoprinting, layering collaged images, inks, and paints that are pressed and then transferred to paper. We visited her home studio in Kalamazoo, Michigan to learn more about her inspiration and process and to capture the creation of the fall cover art.'
VISIONS INTERPRETED
'Split evenly across the two large (4.75" x 7.5") books, Weiler’s artwork is reproduced on sturdy 100#C Mohawk Superfine stock. The inside covers contain custom practical applications and all the information you need to know about dreams, consciousness, and memories. FNC72 Hunters Moon Body Pages A Three black staples bind 48 pages of Mohawk Superfine “Warm White” 70#T, an excellent premium paper that is ideal for writing and artwork across a variety of media. One book is ruled with light ochre lines for journaling and the other is blank for sketching.'
