This journal is different than all my other journals because I have added fabric, ribbon, trim and lots of patterned paper, patterned tape and netting. I have also added stitching by hand and stitching with my sewing machine. So far it has been a lot of fun.
I definitely can see me making another one of these in the future. I loved painting on the fabric and the feel and look of the cover is amazing to me.
Here is one prepped page ready to go. My niece came with a packet of goodies for me and I used quite a few of the images in this journal. They were all black and white. How did she know? We think a lot alike so it is not surprising. Thanks Janene, I was blessed by your company!
Here is one finished page that I worked on. I wanted to remind myself of all the fun I am having and to not loose the joy as I progress in my art journey. I really like doodling and had some fun this weekend watching Felicity (Freshman year) and playing with my pens.

I love your new journal. So cool!!
So glad you had a good time with your niece. Hope you sore throat goes away and does not turn into something more.
Thanks Mary, yes I do hope this throat of mine gets well soon.
I love your journal, especially the painting on the front cover, it is wonderful. I hope you feel better soon.
oh it turned out sooooo cute...
You inspire me to create!!!
Love your new journal - it's so pretty! But I was wondering what you mean by signatures?
Signatures are a few pages bound together. In a journal you will have multiple groups (signatures) to make up the book. In this journal each signature bound together with ribbon but book binding thread us usually used. I hope that makes sense. If you go on youtube.com and look for bookbinding you will see how it is done.
