Borders
Journaling is a way to get ideas out of your head & onto paper you review.
I make my journals my own by embellishing them.
Making Borders is an activity that keeps the hands busy.
These are a few of the ways I create borders for pages.
A carving block is painted with water color then pressed on the page.
I cut stencils to used over & over.
Some felt tip markers do a nice job of bleeding when a small tip brush is run along the edge with water. I really like this effect.
This is a great way to define your edges prior to making a commitment.
Hand drawn borders can be scanned then printed on multiple pages.
See you tomorrow for day 3..."C"
I'm leaning towards Color.
Your journals are works of art. I love that. I wish I had the time and patience to do that. Alas, my journals are simple.
ReplyDeleteI don't journal. When I've tried they just look ugly! My daughter does, and it always looks nice. Borders are important, and a big part of a page for her. For you too, I guess!
ReplyDeleteThose borders all look really cool and now I'm tempted to work more on the borders in my own journals. My borders tend to be simple and I keep focusing more on decorating the outside of the borders rather than making the borders themselves interesting
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I journal, but I am too lazy to do that. :)
ReplyDeleteVery artistic, these look really cool!
