Hello Bloggers
My 'Explore' Junk Journal is finally finished & posted to Youtube
The video shows:
Dimensions: Covers: 12.5x16cm or 5x6.25" Spines: 5x16cm or 1.75x6.25: Ivory signature: Ivory cardstock: 15x30cm or 6x12" with 1st fold at 5.5cm or 2.5" First score 1.5cm wide or 0.5" Ivory insert 10.5x29cm or 4.5x11.5" with 2nd score 1cm or 3/8" Kraft signature: same dimensions Products used: Ivory, kraft & black cardstock, tea dyed vellum, corrugated paper Hardware metals, vintage trinkets Jute twine, coffee mesh ribbon Papers: vintage junk journal with cut & creates #29200 at megsgarden either printed or as digital downloads
There were 3 phases to do this little junk journal/art journal/mini album:
1. the signatures were made but not assembled & then put aside for quite a while when other projects, products & a 'to do' list became higher priorities.
2. the signatures were finally picked up, looked at & tried to figure out how it was supposed to work - I had forgotten or never thought about it
3. the original signatures did not work so they had to be made to work!
4. a new binding system was organised which allows the little book to sit flat. The video shows you how - so easy & effective
Hope you enjoyed seeing my latest Junk Journal. There are lots of new ideas here that can be used in the New Papers just published called 'A Vintage Writing Journal' - printed or digital.
These papers are cut & ready to create on my desk - will post when complete
