New Journal

As I neared completion or fullness in my last journal I once again wanted to try something new for this journal. So, I followed the directions in one of my books (Creative Wildfire by L.K. Ludwig) to make a journal with a binding designed to lay flat-useful for us journalers. I also had some Fabriano Artistico 90lb watercolor paper that I had been dying to try and decided to go ahead and make my journal with that paper. I think I like the lighter weight papers but that's also something that changes each time I make a new journal.
I created my newest journal using one of my horse-racing photos on the front and a cool abstract digital painting I made a long time ago on an online Jackson Pollack style painting web site...I liked it so well I printed it out intending to use it in or on one of my journals eventually...well, there it is...
This is the front cover



this is the binding...

this is the back cover....


and here's a page I started

Namaste,
Dawn
