patterned notebook
3¾"w x 5¾"h x ¾" thick
40 sheets or 80 pages counting front & back
made from granite cream paper, white waxed linen cord (with coptic stitch binding) and elastic; cover is made from a design colored with markers and cardboard
the elastic used for this project was originally white, so i soaked it in 1 part pure orange acrylic paint and 2 parts water for about 10 hours... when it was completely dry, i stretched the elastic to get rid of any stiffness
also, the design was done with marker which can bleed easily, so i sprayed it with a matte finish on both sides... glued it to the cardboard and finished the inside covers... then put a thick layer of tacky glue on the design (being careful to do it quickly so it wouldn't smear)... and finally, sprayed it again with matte finish
