I've put this under 'other' because it's a mix of felt, stitch, paper folding, cord making, and general sticking together! If you're interested in any of the techniques, they are explained on this blog post |

Wow Lyn I really admire your patience! A really sweet journal, gorgeous colours and stitching. What a lovely gift for someone who would appreciate the hard work that went into it. Good Christmas prezzies??

Nice book Lyn. I haven't gotten to reading blog posts this past weekend. Will have to do that soon so I can see how you made it. Thanks!

Beautiful, you've made it classy rather than 'homely', good skills

That's really nice, Lyn, great photos and explanation!
I've made similar books with paper and card, and thinking about it, I bought a kit I never used that I could try with. Did you use foam mountboard or cardboard?

Did you use foam mountboard or cardboard? Thanks Zed. I used white mountboard (not foam) the kind you would cut up to mount a picture. I've just tried to measure the thickness and it looks to be 1mm but it may be a gnat's whisker thicker. I bought an A2 sheet of it from 'The Range'. |

Oh, mount like Americans say mat, i.e a frame over a picture? I'm thinking of the boards students use, probably because I saw someone ask about them recently  |

I always think of mounting board as the back or if frameless the board the picture is attached to and matt board on the front as more of a decorative thing. .

the blues and the circles look so good together great blog Lyn - I would call it mountboard too, that's probably because I'm on the same island :-)
