Making & Keeping Creative Journals
by Suzanne J. E. Tourtillott
"Craft a personalized journal
that captures your own unique passion! Just follow these bookmaking basics and
pick the perfect papers, dream cover, and ideal binding for your own private
volume--or create one for a friend. Enhance your journals with fun and unusual
features like pockets, maps, and photo mats. Each of these 15 handmade,
imaginative, and deeply individual projects resulted from a collaboration
between someone with a popular hobby or interest (such as quilting, poetry, or
travel) and a book artist who translated that ardor into a special one-of-a-kind
digest. The result: an endless source of ideas, along with facts on archival
materials, and information on tools and techniques. Choose from journals for
painters, poets, sculptors, bird-watchers, grandmothers, and children. Or,
record your yoga meditations or dreamwork. Crafters will especially appreciate
the classic advice on writing. With its liberal sprinkling of thought-provoking
quotes, this is inspirational as well as instructive! All in Color."
