“Urban Ransom” or “Letters from the Hood” developed out of a passion for graffiti and ransom lettering that have merged together to develop this unique style journal. Learn a simple binding method making a journal with fold out pages. Work with ransom style letters provided on collage sheets (with many other available for purchase) to give your journal a real urban feel. Later you can add beading and embellishments to the spine to give your journal a unique finished look.
