Yesterday after finishing the covers on
Teesha Moore journal I stitched and bound my effort. This was so much fun and I still get to work on it further at my leisure.
This is the inside cover which comprises 2 10 x 8" canvas boards, I used a strong calico doubled for the spine. I painted all sides of my cover.
This is a side view of the bound journal showing the old buttons that I thread onto the thread attaching the signatures to the spine. I also painted the spine.
View of the side tie to keep journal closed, old button used and at the end of the ties I knotted two old bone beads that have wire inserted around the middle.
the completed journal feels lovely to hold.
I do love Nick Bantock's stamps, they are so quirky. following are some more of the inside pages.
Couldn't resist a touch of New Zealand, added the lovely Pukeko bird.
A prompt from Sabrina Ward Harrison....
Following are some of the brighter colours I used, quite vibrant don't you think
mmmh not to sure about this colour, think I will have to typed journalling on coloured paper.
An evil leer here, and he's with the band?
These skeleton duck's where a real find, sorry can't remember what magazine I found them in.
