Etymology: Middle English concepcioun, from Old French conception, from Latin conception-, conceptio, from concipere
2 A: the capacity, function, or process of forming or understanding ideas or abstractions or their symbols
B: a general idea: concept C: a complex product of abstract or reflective thinking D: the sum of a person's ideas and beliefs concerning something
3: the originating of something in the mind
The act of writing into a journal makes something intangible into something tangible. If it is either creating written words onto journal paper or acting on those ideas after closing the journal and walking out the door; it is all creating an idea and then making it into a reality.
Thus, concepcioun.
I have been making handmade, hand bound journals for several years and have finally perfected my process to create a great quality journal. I think that these journals are unique because they combine the traditional methods of japanese style stab binding with contemporary imagery and color palettes.
I hope that you enjoy them as well as I do.
