Last Journal finished

The last book in the OLLI course Leather Journals is finally finished. It’s mine (instructor) and I know it’s the last one to be completed. I used the leather cover to demonstrate the longstitch sewing of the spine and hadn’t intended to actually complete a journal. I cut the leather from a blue suede jacket (shoes would have been too small) and the beautiful buttonholes were too interesting to ignore. I don’t know what I will use this one for; I usually use a journal for some kind of theme. The journal hasn’t told me what it wants to be yet.

      The maps that are folios were taken from an old almanac. The maps on the cover and serving as endpapers came from a bag given to me by a friend. It’s very sturdy—I’m sure it’s Tyvek. Now I just need to write in it…..

        Ah, Tyvek. Tyvek is so very useful! (Reminds me–have you tried paste painting on it? Wonderful stuff.)

        Perhaps you should call it a “day book” and just make marks in it every day? 😉
