I just finished a hand-made journal I'll be using for a Journal Round-robin with the wonderfully talented and always encouraging ladies in the Sketchbook Project yahoo group.
The journal was made using a
recycled book technique I picked up from the Blissfully Art Journaling group. The outside was altered using the technique Sarah Whitmire teaches in her
Joggles Altered Journal class. I think she'd be proud .. it's much prettier in person!
The door on the front was inspired by a journal shown on
Millande's site. I like her window much better than mine. I still have a couple days before mine has to be sent off ... so my window may have some evolving yet to do!
It'll be tough to part with it .. but it will be coming back and when it does, it will be filled with wonderful secrets!

Oh my gosh....your blog is amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Fran,
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting. I popped over to check out your lovelies. Really wonderful journal - wish I could touch the texture. I love the hinges and bits of metal.
To answer you question -the borders ARE as simple as they look - just repetition of shape.
