I'm afraid the philosophy is still much more of a theory than applied practice, at least if it comes to more serious matters than chipboard letters ;).<br />As to the cover, it's really quite simple. I started with pasting down some tissue paper on the front, and patterend paper on the back cover for extra texture. After that, it's basically just using your fingers to paint with a variety of colours, and using whatever is within reach to add some more textures and shapes (my favourites are toilet paper cardboard rolls for making circles), and paste the odd piece of patterend paper, chipboard letters, or whatever else you have on hand, down on it in between. Splash some liquid paint on top, and add some details with a (white) gel pen. That's it, really :).Nordljushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338266771808023458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819583803044106367.post-4473116377822529562012-06-17T15:02:01.987+02:002012-06-17T15:02:01.987+02:00Very very creative and refreshing cover...love all...Very very creative and refreshing cover...love all the textures !Ritu Duahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879730725367180428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819583803044106367.post-4959700457517714892012-06-16T18:04:47.269+02:002012-06-16T18:04:47.269+02:00I think that your book looks beautiful.

I was going to meet my boyfriend after work one day.. I was going to take the bus, just then I remember something I HAD to do first, so I waited for the other bus, and gave a message about that to my beloved.. <br />Next.. I reached the bus, but I did not reach the second bus corresponding.. So I had to take another.. I messaged my beloved again.. and I waited.. <br />until the bus came (or a bus came!), I boarded the bus, found me a seat (without good view) and got occupied by looking to some people and a dog.. :)) until.. I suddenly realized I was heading downtown, while I in fact should meet my boyfriend in a suburb! I had taken the wrong bus as I did not look to the number in front of the bus! hah! <br />again I had to message my boyfriend.. the message started as "you will not believe it, but......blablabla" ;D<br /><br />Lovely weekend to you! :)Violahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009522127792808077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819583803044106367.post-7170256612846103042012-06-15T21:10:38.556+02:002012-06-15T21:10:38.556+02:00Your cover is FAB!

That really did make me laugh! I'm having 'G's thrown at me left, right and centre at the moment!<br />What I really want to say is please send me a step by step guide on how you did this and with what materials?? Yes - that's how lovely I think it is :0) But as if you'd have the time for that! So,on behalf of all of your followers who I am sure feel the same, maybe next time you make a cover you could post a step by step on your blog :0)Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819583803044106367.post-42758170848291286042012-06-15T17:32:47.283+02:002012-06-15T17:32:47.283+02:00I have to say that I absolutely adore this journal...I have to say that I absolutely adore this journal. I love the depth and texture! The bit re. the C is funny - it also reminds me of all the times in life we let bizarre little things really get our goats or upset us, when in the end the solutions are so simple & direct, if not 'perfect' - and how later on perfection doesn't even matter! But yes - i would absolutely adore having a journal like this to write/sketch in.Alicia Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06768830482405879216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819583803044106367.post-62871041643043321512012-06-15T17:29:01.982+02:002012-06-15T17:29:01.982+02:00What fun covers...love all that texture and color!...What fun covers...love all that texture and color!
