I love the whole shabby chic look of these journals from Mary Ann Moss instructions for Remains of the Day artist/travel journal. This particular one is a 6x9 with scrap pages as inserts.
I'm very much looking forward to my next one that will include some 140lb. watercolor paper including patterned paper as accents and pocket inserts. First, I must complete this one by adding more ephemera and photos. I need to sew more around the fabric including attaching the signatures. It's fun to piddle around with the inclusions before I start writing my memories and experiences :) If your interested in how this journal is made please visit Mary Ann Moss at Dispatch From LA for more information.
The whole journal layed out flat.
I still have a bit more sewing remaining but all in all I'm quite pleased with the outcome so far.
Variuos page inserts with half sheets with bits and pieces of waste/scraps that now have another purpose. This is one of my all time favorite projects and I can certainly see myself making many more journals with this concept in mind.
