Tore the watercolour paper today and completed five signatures. That is all I'm going to have in my first attempt with watercolour paper. It is enough. Now, I simply have to wait for the waxed linen thread to arrive. I don't want to use anything else I've decided!

| I think it is going to look nice when finished, if, of course, I get the holes in the right place, the thread in the right place, the tapes in the right place .... hmmmm. |
Thanks for dropping by. As always, a pleasure to share with you a little bit of my life and lovely to have you here.

Good idea using the ribbon down the sides, Donna. This journal is going to be the journal of all journals. It will be so much fun to follow along.
What does Habibi have to say about your spending too much time on your journals?
Again, no art for me. Took Jim to the dentist as he wasn't able to drive today (pain meds). The day just seemed to fly by.
Hugs,

I love what you did here. All the jewels and velvet-wonderful combination. This will be a wonderful book.....Hugs..Donna
How did you attach the charms...can see the ribbon but what's underneath anchoring it there..? I think I have the courage to start working on covers but the binding is a bit intimidating.
Hi Tiffiny .. I glued a wide strip of velvet on the top - straight onto the leather (which has wood under it). I turned the velvet under on the front side. ON the back side I reinforced the velvet with a gross grain ribbon so it would look 'finished' as I didn't want to turn the velvet under on the inside. Hope that helps. Donna
