Handmade Journal 2

Monday, September 17, 2012

This is the second handmade journal I've constructed.  It features a fabric cover and spine, decorative endpapers, an attached, hand-woven bookmarker, headbands, printed title page, and printed, lined journal pages with a scripture quote at the bottom of each page.  It was constructed with a hollow back and hand-stitched sections.

For the interior pages, I used the same template as for the previous journal, but I spaced the lines a little farther apart in case I want to write in Japanese.

I wove the bookmarker on an inkle loom, after using my pattern generator to create the design.

Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth.
