I made a cloth cover, sewed on a piece of needle-felted fibers in rainbow colors, a bit of beading, and lots of ribbons.
When you open it up, all the colorful pages and ribbons and fibers come into view.
Although the outside fabric looks a little gaudy, the inside covers are a dark hand-dyed fabric. I added a pocket on the front inside cover for bookmarks and a big post-it notepad. The pocket is made from one of my sun-printed fabrics.
I added lots of bookmarks, clip-on tabs, and binder clips.
I had a few watercolor painting scraps and bits that I added in to some of the pages. (Now why is Blogger turning the image upside down?)
This was a fun project, easy to work on in small doses if you don't have a lot of time. Just paint a few pages at a time. Most of the pages in this journal actually came from an American Quilter magazine.
Going out today to babysit for my little Charlotte. Can't wait!
