What About The Edge Of The Journal?

Monday, March 30th, 2009

dsc01615Today I wanted to talk about collage and journal pages. I lately seem to work in my journal for days on end then don’t use it for a while. Then I feel a real need to journal again for a while. For certain times in my life,  I have managed to get a real great daily routine and journal every day. I intend to get back to that daily routine again as it feels really good.:-)

So, how about you? Are you able to be creative every day?

I recently saw some interesting information about embellishing the edges of your journal pages.

You could use beading or threads or macrame or plaiting. What about wire work, or using ripped fabrics, even ribbon or rope. Maybe cutting the edges into shapes or ripping them would be fun.

The covers are special to me. I usually wait till I am finished the journal before I create the finished cover. After I have finished the journal the cover ideas seem to come very easily for me. I decide if I am going to use fabric or collage . Its really the best part for me:-)

Thanks for visiting.
