This weeks notebook is a journal about 3" square and just over an inch in thickness. The cover is some silk strips stitched down onto a backing fabric. I am agai using up some work started at least five years ago. I had a go at making felt beads recently, they were not round so this is one cut in half so that you see the colours used in the middle. Water colour pages decorated with pieces of some of the French manuscript I recently acquired along with some commercial paper.
I have used vintage Laura Ashley fabric for the inside of the cover.
Recently a friend had a special birthday and this is the journal I made for her. Working in muted browns, green, mauve and aubergine was a bit of a challenge for me.
Hope you are all having a good week.

I love the little pink and red journal!
The covers are so rich and the inside pages are intriguing. This is a wonderful project you have taken up boldly this year. xox Corrine

Beautiful, beautiful work - so inspiring. I've made one [or might have been two] but would love to make more and found this really motivational.
I really like the silk strip cover. The colours have such a rich depth.
Gorgeous notebooks, both of them, although my favourite has to be the small red one ;-)
