Traveling Nature Journal Sketchbook

A one-of-a-kind traveling nature journal, passed from artist to artist across Europe from May 2025 to July 2026. Each contributor spent about a month with the journal, filling its pages with drawings and notes inspired by the landscapes, wildlife, and seasonal observations of their local surroundings. Beyond the sketches, the journal contains many other handmade treasures, such as natural ink, a painted tea bag, pressed flowers, and even a handmade embroidered sleeve created by Ilse van Oosterhout especially for the book. The result is a unique collaborative artwork that tells a story of connection between artists, places, and the natural world across Europe. Contributors: 1.
