Sol & Luna Onion Skin Journal | Limited Edition
The duality of the sun and moon is where our wholeness lives. Your light, your fire, your becoming, dances beside your dark, your stillness, and your depths. In every spiritual tradition across time, these two forces have danced together — neither complete without the other. You are not one or the other. You are both. This journal is a place where you remember that all of you is welcome here. You do not have to be a certain way to be lovable. You just have to dance in the truth of your wholeness.
Onion skin paper is thin, slightly translucent, and remarkably durable. Used for centuries, it develops a gentle cockled finish with time and writing that feels less like wear and more like weathering. The journal begins to look like it has lived.
Inside are 320 pages of blank onion skin paper. A reversible insert provides a line guide on one side and a dot grid on the other when needed. The linen cover opens flat and stays there. Smyth-sewn binding. Matching ribbon marker.

MADE FOR THE THOUGHTS WORTH KEEPING.
Crafted with rare onion skin paper sewn binding and linen
covers designed to soften transform and gather
character through years of writing.
The ghosting effect
The translucency of onion skin paper allows writing sketches and reflections to softly appear beneath each page creating depth, texture, and visual layering over time.
Surprisingly durable
Though incredibly thin, onion skin paper was originally designed to travel across oceans without adding weight. Strong fibers allow the pages to hold up beautifully through years of writing.
Fountain pen friendly
Designed to handle fountain pen ink beautifully, the paper resists bleeding while still preserving the soft translucency and layered ghosting that make onion skin paper so distinct.
This journal provides a tactile experience unlike any other sketchbook I have owned, and I have owned probably hundreds over the years. The paper is light, and smooth, and yet surprisingly sturdy. It takes pencil and pen very well, it's a pleasure to write on. I've also used watercolor and while it buckles significantly while the color is drying, once dry it comes back to almost flat if the journal is closed and weighted slightly. All around very enjoyable to use, lightweight, and very pleasant to work with. Highly recommended for those like to sketch in ink, or watercolor or gouache. I should also mention that somehow the transparency of the pages seems to make it a bit less "precious" than working in some other journals I have had, including one specifically designed for watercolor which is a lovely journal but which I hesitate to touch for fear of "spoiling" it. Somehow I want to use this so much and it already feels like an extension of my hand… I don't seem to have that issue with this particular book.
Loving this journal! It takes watercolor so well, and it is enjoyable to experiment with. The paper is delightfully crinkly and stronger than it seems. The translucency is so interesting. Can't wait to keep using it up!
I loved it so much
