This is a model for the handmade book I will be teaching the first Saturday in September. The covers are scrapbook paper and the pages are cream colored computer paper.
I sewed the signatures to ribbons and then attached them to the covers. I am going to write up a handout for how to make this book. After I teach the class, I will try to remember to post it to my blog. :)
Above, we have some of the journal pages I've been working on over the past few days. I hardly ever finish pages all in one day. I paint several pages, add collage to several pages the next day, and then eventually come back and write on the pages.
The above page was an experiment on journaling on top of black gesso. There is a self portrait I took in a mirror. Whenever I come across an interesting mirror with graffiti, I like to take a photo of myself in it. I used a lot of washi tape. The writing was done with gelly roll pens and souffle pens. Some of the collage bits were left over pieces of the painted paper from yesterday's book. There is a secret flap as well that covers up part of the writing.

excellent pages. Your experiment was very successful I like the look of the writing over the black!
