I took an online workshop from Roben Marie called “Ripped and Stitched.” In it, we learned to make a journal from strips of fabric previously used for wiping off brushes and cleaning up paint.
The fabric created from this is quite beautiful.
I made a different type of journal than was taught in the workshop, but the technique is quite versatile, so you could make a variety of journal types with it.
The inside is full of handmade notebooks and a hand painted envelopes for stashing treasures.
I ended up liking this one so much that I made another one for myself!
