Fresh Start

I finished creating my new art journal yesterday.  Yes, I've created other new art journals recently with intentions to fill them...but I loved working in Little Gems so much that I created something similar to work in now.  The new journal (working title Little Gems Too) is 9 x 7 inches, filled with three signatures of Gelli plate offprints.

I built this journal from scratch.  The boards and spine were formerly pieces of a checkers game board, the cover paper was Gelli printed some time ago, and the inside liner paper was printed on Thursday (front half in photo above).

I used the Double X binding stitch -- ideal for three signatures and relatively easy to do.

This is Little Gems completely filled -- I'm still posting journal pages from this.
