Tour de France Art Journal – Vintage Paper & Gesso Pages






Tour de France Art Journal – Vintage Paper & Gesso Pages
This handmade mixed media journal draws inspiration from the energy and motion of the Tour de France. A scanned vintage photo of a cyclist takes centre stage, surrounded by lush painted layers, embossing, stitch accents, and torn ephemera that suggest both landscape and memory.
The inside is just as considered: pages made from vintage printed material have been coated in a soft layer of gesso, creating a usable surface for your own thoughts, drawings, or collages—while still letting whispers of original text peek through.
Every mark, texture, and tear adds depth and narrative. Whether you’re a cycling fan, creative journaler, or lover of nostalgic art, this journal is a tactile, one-of-a-kind piece to make your own.
There’s only one like it—once sold, it won’t be repeated.
Created in 2024 using vintage and salvaged materials. Unique and handmade—expect charming irregularities. The book is unlined with a stitched spine and includes vintage paper ephemera.
Approx. 15 cm [5.9”] x 21 cm [8]
