I make things slowly, by hand, so you can use them forever.

Tell me what you love and I'll make it into something you'll carry every day, and never want to replace.

Handmade on Sydney's Northern Beaches

Personalised Journal Charms

  • What book lives rent-free in your head?

    Introducing journal charms - small, personal and made to order. This one's a library card, inspired by the one I saw at the NYPL gift shop in 2016.

  • If you could catalogue your journal...

    Like the old catalogue cards inside library drawers, this one is for something only your journal knows.

  • Like next to works of art in a gallery

    Engraved just like the ones you see beside artworks, but for the most important thing on display: your journal.

    On permanent display, as part of a private collection or not for sale.

Leather

I make refillable-style leather journal covers, also known as traveller's notebooks, for you to flexibly own your journal ecosystem. They are entirely customisable. And even when I work with similar colours or combinations, something always shifts in the making. A small decision here, a natural variation in the hide there. No two pieces ever come out the same, and I think that's what makes them worth keeping.

Clay

Clay is coming. I'm building my first pottery collection slowly, a mix of handbuilt and wheel-thrown earthenware, designed in mini collections for your home and your art. Every piece has the kind of minor imperfections that remind you a real person made it. That's not a flaw. That's the whole point.

#JournalTok

I love to see your unboxings, setups, decorations and especially how your piece patinates - genuinely froth over that stuff. Tag me @terraandsim on Tiktok or Instagram.
