Tools and materials for turning a stack of old books into themed sketchbooks.

a commission
I decided on a kiss style journal.
upcycled light suede feel leather, leaves dyed in green & pressed for 24 hours.
leaves used - tomatoe, dandelion, comfrey, sage, lemon verbena, lemon & mint.
a leather strap closure with brass rings attached with brass studs and a gorgeous little pewter container that opens (to put seeds in?) has been attached with a pewter link.
the leather inside of the journal has been pyrographed with perma pixie.
sewn in longstitch & kettlestitch using my own pattern with green waxed Irish linen thread & wooden beads, each section is made of a different paper so as to index, the edges have been treated to look aged.
stamped images are placed throughout, hand made envelopes are on the back pages, the vellum one has been embossed with trees & a stamped image placed behind it.
each journal has 168 pages (336 both sides)
journal - 15.5cm X 11.5cm X 7.5cm spine

Working on a book cover for a 7-page journal. People like me without enough patience on heavy journal may like my idea - Start and finish a journal in a WEEK !! Coming in 11 June - Visual Journal Exhibition in Tokyo. www.joeilau.com/exhibition2
Basic craftwood cut journal with Sherrill Kahn colours and Brazzill papers, plus Enchantique flakes, plus raffia ties.
This journal has been up to changes just to make it prettier and more usable.
Will be posting another video of the finished journal. I did a giveaway on my blog for this. Tomorrow I'll be sending it to the winner (joyfulploys). I hope she'll like it. Sewing a journal was so much fun!! You should try it out :)
A page in my art journal. My life, particularly at work, seems to be about juggling things. I used a painting that my boy did when he was at primary school. Definitely something different for me. Using paints, gesso, stamps and inks as well as a die cut alpha and my white pen. The ticket stamps are from a little Hero Arts sparkle clear set and the rest from a Kaisercraft set.
The hummingbird that came to the back door each day looked like the same one--around this area the ruby throated is the only kind that visits--
as you can see by the right edge they all look alike so it may well have been
friends taking turns...
The page on the right can be printed multiple times to use as a daily observation journal. Glue in the book or staple together as a separate book and slide it into one of the paper bag openings.
Left: playing card pocket, bird from desk calendar, bird torn from magazine. Right: paper sample book covers (blue "Colors" cover and cherries cover both fold out for journaling)

This journal has the same dimensions as the Midori Traveller’s Journal, but the ones I use are cheap versions from Ali Express. So naturally I had to come up with a whole new name for my journals, and ”Kiroku adventurer’s notebook” came to be. I doodle, draw, write, use washi tapes, ephemera, postage stamps, paper clippings, memorabilia, rubber stamps, well anything that fit in the journal really.
Our hosts have a pretty great sense of humor.
They have a pad on the guest toilet that is meant to be read, and written in.
I threw this at Stevie as she had not written anything in it.
I don't care if she didn't poop while she was here, a note had to be left!
