I have been making some journals and little books lately ,here is a pic of some in various stages of progress.
I've always thought it would be nice to keep a journal. It would be a nice way to reflect on life by having memories in writing.
Told from a friend to have a look in today's Journal.....paper is that thin you can see through it. Chuffed anyway. :)
This journal page was done with a Nexus pen, crowquill pen for the coyotes and watercolor pencils over 4B graphite. This is a combination I've grown very fond of because -- yes -- I'm one of those detail people!
More work with stippling using micron 005 and Pentel liquid gel .7
Would love pointers on creating value with pen rather than pencil.
Thanks for looking.
And everything it makes me dream of!
I searched in vain for the perfect tape but no luck... Plus I am trying to do this whole journal exercise without spending money so...... I used pink ribbon and some stationery I found in my stash!
Autumn is my favourite month..But here are some reasons why summer is cool too!!
I started writing in 2000 when i was 15. Actually i started much earlier but thats the earliest i have saved. I dont know what happened to the ones before 2000. These are not in order, Didnt have the time for that but the 3rd one from the top is the oldest one from 2000-2001. I LOVE to write and fill my journals up with memories, doodles, sketches, and moments that i never want to forget. Im going to write until my hands just cant write anymore and im 6 feet under.
Here's what the travel journal looks like after a trip to Brazil. The blank front is now decorated -- in this case, with my luggage claim tags. Postcards, cards from restaurants, brochures from museums are tucked into the pockets. Daily highlights fill the lined page inserts. The flat pages on the opposite side are filled with beach drawings.
My second pages in my Three Hearts Art Journal. Lots of products - Pan pastels, Crafter's Workshop Stencils, Unity, Donna Downey and Making Memories stamps, Faber Castell pens, Shiva Paintsticks, Golden paints, Tim Holtz and Pink Paislee ephemera.

This icy white journal has some interesting stitching - I'd seen some "French" stitching for regular hardbound books and thought it would be really nice to have it visible on the outside of the spine. Attaching the covers was the trickiest part because I didn't want to disrupt the crossed stitch ladder effect on the spine.

This is the start of a journal for the 2015 Sketchbook Project. I seem to be on a circle kick. Variations on a theme.
