Finally, A new Blog Post from me....
Over at Kindred Souls we are having a round robin journal swap where you make a journal, create your covers and a page then send it to the next player in line to create a page, and so forth and so forth until your book is finished.
Then the player that completes your last page sends it back to you.
Each player had to select a theme for their journal. Mine is Eclectic Vintage Gentlemen.
This is the cover of my journal.
This is the page I created. I used a photograph of old paparazzi. I have had this photo for a while and thought this would be the perfect place to use it. I covered my page in metal tape and embossed it for an industrial look.
This is the back of my page. I kept it simple with some patterned paper an a stamped image reminiscent of Laurel and Hardy.
I just cant wait to see all the great art that comes back in my journal for their are some great artist playing along.
Love your journal! Can't wait to work in it! I LOVE that stamp!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book Stephen! I've been giving yours lots of thought! I like the film aspect of it also. Hum??? might have to elaborate on that one.
