A DIARY YOU MAKE YOURSELF
This is not a printed diary cover. (BORING!)
It’s one you shape by your hand.
Each Colourful A5 Diary is finished with Karvaura’s patent-pending multi-layered Karving Kanvas, individually hand-carved, cut to size, and bonded to the front cover. As you karve into the surface, hidden colours are revealed through depth, creating a cover that is completely your own.
No paint.
No mess.
No artistic experience required.
Every diary carries subtle variation and texture that you karve and create – the marks of something handmade, not mass-produced.
HOW THE KARVED COVER WORKS
You begin with a smooth, karvable front cover. Using a carving tool, you gently carve into the surface. As you go deeper, new colours appear beneath the top layer.
There is no template and no final look to aim for. You decide how deep to go, where to stop, and when it feels complete.
Each diary includes a sample practice sheet so you can test the feel and depth before committing to the cover itself. The process is simple, intuitive, and forgiving.
DESIGNED FOR EVERYDAY WRITING
This diary is made to be used, not just admired.
The karved front cover adds subtle weight, helping the diary stay open and stable while you write. This makes it especially comfortable for left-handed users who often struggle with covers falling closed or shifting under their hand.
Inside, the diary includes a personal information page, year calendars from 2025 to 2027, religious festivals and public holidays, an academic calendar overview, year planner pages for 2026, and Southern African school holidays.
It works as a planner, journal, or daily writing companion – shaped by you on the outside, reliable on the inside.
CHOOSE YOUR COLOUR
Each colourway reveals multiple hidden layers as you karve, ensuring no two covers ever look the same.
Available Diary colours are Flamingo, Peach, Lilac, Mint, and Blush.
Every Colourful A5 Diary package includes the diary with handmade Karving Kanvas front cover, one sample practice sheet, one bandaid, and two information leaflets covering how to karve and a tool guide. Karving tools are sold separately.
Every line you karve stays.
Every layer you reveal becomes part of the story.
