Hi again,
Just a quick post. I've been making some fabric-covered journals lately. Loved it so much I can't stop making them!. LOL. They'll keep. The last thing to worry about is running out of journals, right?
Just a quick post. I've been making some fabric-covered journals lately. Loved it so much I can't stop making them!. LOL. They'll keep. The last thing to worry about is running out of journals, right?
I made them in 2 different styles; one with buttons on the front cover (Plaid Journals) and the second with button strapped on the side (Orange Sherbet Journals). I used thick acrylic papers (350 sgm) to make the pages for the 'Plaid Journals'.
I used thinner watercolor papers (200 sgm) for the 'Orange Sherbet' journals. Can you believe that I did not use a single stitch to make them?. Just glue, double-sided tapes & strings!. So much fun :).
Okay, that's it. Gotta go. Have great Monday.
Hugs,
Shahrul
These are very clever! They look great and are very practical ... what a wonderful gift idea in an age of computers ... they look like the kind of thing a dear friend would cherish ... great idea Shahrul xoxo.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly. Yup, these journals are practical and I love to mix & match the lovely colors, not only for the covers but buttons as well. Great gifts too :).
DeleteOh my Shahrul!!! These are fabulous. You're so very talented.
ReplyDeleteHey Lalo, thanks so much. I sent your winning journal about a week ago, maybe it'll reach you in 3 - 5 weeks :)). Enjoy!
DeleteOmg, that plaid in blue and red is my ultimate fav! Reminds me of my tartan skirt I had once. Do you sell these? I want to buy the blue....
ReplyDeleteTartans are so snuggly in winter!!!. I had a PJ in that too, but they are no good here :(. But, art journals are FOREVER. I can sell you one :), I'll send you email soonest. Hugs.
DeleteYou are SUCH a crafty soul!!! I LOVE these. Your color choices alone are inspiring and the styles are so unique. EXCELLENT work. You are so incredibly talented. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lisa!. The feeling is mutual, mate. I adore your work as much as your humor :)). Remember genie & Tim Holtz joke? You said it best. LOL.
