Journal in a box

Travel gift

The challenge is now over. I am both relieved (not having to make a picture) and missing it already (the drive to make a picture)  :)

Now that I have pasted the whole month, I can just as well see if I can continue writing here showing the pictures of what I have made.

A little travel notebook, mini album for a friend who went to visit in England.

Purple journal

Admitting this is not the most imaginable title for a post, for want of a better title ... this will have to do. And the photographs. Well, terrible I know, this was at night in a very dark place. And you will remember I do not know how to take photo's and I am trying to be as real as possible.

A bit on the thick side, it has 10 signatures.
I do not know if there is a name for the method of binding I did, but I'll tell you exactly what I did. I sew the signatures together, thereafter I wound string around the spine of the cover and slid the signatures in.

I really like how it all came together.

The decoration at the back: The circle is a pottery button with pink flowers and green leaves.
Purple chipboard tag, a teapot and an antelope charm, plus some beads dangling below.

This journal I made for myself, the negatives to share with you is:
1. The decoration at the back caused to book to never lie flat.
2. And it is just too thick.

In future I'll change that.

What is it you are looking out for when in search of a new journal?
