As usual, I made myself a travel journal. I made something similar a couple of years ago and since the design worked well, I made a couple more - (one for me and one for a friend who going out west this spring - don't tell it's a surprise - the journal NOT the trip!)
7x10" paper
print pages
fold papers in half, add holes to signatures with Japanese punch (each signature consists of 4 fold pages)
Assorted papers
paper adhered to canvas - overall size of canvas cut to 15Wx7.5L
water color soluble crayons - that didn't work as planned
layers of acrylic paint - that's better - it changes again with more paint (see #2 below)
color scheme for journal (#1) inspired by Cezanne
Dupioni silk adhered to reverse side of canvas (wonder under); holes punched in spine
(journal (#2) colors more suitable to out west); stitch decorative thread around all sides to front side of cover
My journal (#1)
Journal #2

You will adore Brittany. Go to Cap Frehel and St. Malo (among tons of other cool spots!)
I love your travel journal. I'd love to take a class from you to make something just like that!
