Francesca on Mar 19, 2022
5 out of 5 starsThese junk journals are so pretty!! They have the true spirit of junk journals. Many recycled items, things that you really can find in a normal house, cleverly rearranged and decorated. It is refreshing, after so many "too artsy" junk journal, to see something so close to the original idea. Mecyll was so kind, she kept me updated about the shipping and even included a handwritten note to the (beautiful) package (it will be a new ephemera in one of the journals). Couldn't be happier!! Thank you Mecyll!

5 out of 5 starsThis is by far one of the coolest journals ever! Let me start off by saying that I was planning on filling it with poetry to give as a gift. Yeah, that ain't happening, I'm keeping it! Buttery soft bright purple leather, exquisite cover design made with silver vinyl, perfectly adorned with a belt enclosure to match and very good quality hand torn paper mixed in with beautiful varying design papers. This journal was masterfully crafted. Thank you Mecyll for your thoughtful note, packaging and bracelet gift! I love it all and the bag to put the journal in is magic! I will fill it with words of hope as that is something I feel the world needs right now. Prolific poets and writers, please give Bitchy Chicken Journal your business! I am a fan. Best, ~B

About BitchyChickenJournal
-
Whenever I make each piece, it requires a lot of strength, precision, and effort from me. But it's worth it!
-
Depending on the size, it will take me 1-3 days per piece to finish. All my love and fiery passion are place to each.
-
The love my husband and I share equate to each piece I make from our clients. We don't make half-bake stuff in our shop.

Frequently asked questions
Payment Methods
We only accept PayPal as a mode of payment for every transaction. You can refer to Etsy Payments for more information.
If you purchased on a Friday via Etsy Payments, I will not receive the amount you paid on the exact day. The payments will be sent to my bank account Tuesday. I will not process the purchase until the payments are received.
In case if you paid via PayPal, I might receive it on the same day depending on the platform policies. Oftentimes, the payments are processed on the same day. So, if you choose this as a payment form, I could process the shipping sooner as described on my listings.
Please be guided.
Sizing details
We have already specified the sizes and their respective numerical equivalent in each listing. Hence, we're not responsible if the item didn't match your expectation whether they're too big or too small for your notebooks.
To avoid this, contact us and tell us the size of your notebooks, so we can make covers and refill notebooks apt for your needs.
Shipping
Effective January 8, 2021, BitchyChickenJournal will increase prices to increase the insurance value of our handmade products.
We don't want to compromise the trust of our buyers and waste our efforts in creating wonderful and unique products because of shipping issues, which are beyond our control.
Hence, we will make sure ALL our products will arrive safely in your homeland wherever you are in the world (except for countries blacklisted due to Covid-19).
Gift wrapping and packaging
For shipping both local and international items, we place each travelers notebook inside a package with stuffing inside to ensure there will be no damages upon shipment.
Where do you get inspiration from your notebook covers?
We usually get inspiration from the surroundings around us and with our crazy and imaginative heads.
We also wanted to make each notebook as unique as possible. So, I might use limited size of fabrics to use or leather pieces for the designs.
Thus, most of the items we have on the shop are limited.
Where do you make your notebooks?
We only make them at home. So, we didn't have any workspace or a physical shop to display our items. We use the dining table as our workspace and the whole living room as the production area. *winks*
We need 1-2 days for the painting and drying of the paint as well as cutting, sizing the covers, and another day or two for sewing. All in all, we needed 2-3 days for one item.
The same thing for the Coptic Notebooks. Depending on the design we make.
For our leather notebooks, I need around a week of sewing time and finishing the entire cover. This is because I AM THE ONLY ONE who makes all the orders. Please bear with me.
Wholesale availability
Unfortunately, we can't accommodate wholesale orders for our products. Because I can't handle huge quantities of orders.
What paper do you use for your notebooks?
It depends. We include that in our listing description. Usually, we use at least 80 gsm white paper, 150 gsm Bristol paper, or 200 gsm Canson Watercolor paper.
Custom and personalized orders
Bitchy Chicken Journal accepts custom and personalized orders for both recycled fabrics and leathers and even in the hand painted canvas covers for the fauxdories, Midori traveler's notebook, specifically in the sizing and the refill notebooks you want to have either lined, grid, dotted, or blank.
