1. Are the journal pages two sided? Yes. I had nine total papers times two. Thus 18 sides. I am working on Shabby Chic II and it will be twelve pages making 24 sides. I am doing different things in II.
2. How is it bound? I just used sari ribbon to tie around the stack of pages. First I punched a hold in the cover. Then I used a grommet to stick the ribbon through. I covered the ribbon on the inside with masking tape and finished the painting of the inside. On the outside I created a cardboard and button wrap around. It is glued down. The bottom layer of the button wrap around is smaller than the upper layers.
3. Is a sari ribbon wrap around really binding the book. I think it is. I suppose old school binders would disagree but I love the wrap around and so it is. Anyway, it is shabby chic!
4. Why do you like using Woodies so much? I like the Woodies because they make wonderful drips and transparent colors over collage materials.

What a treasure!
I love the idea of loose pages that you can handle yet enclose in such a cool wrap around. Sari ribbon and woodies make everything better in my opinion.And, I love how you have used old black & white photos in the midst of all that glorious color.
Masterful work, John. I hope someday I can hold it and feel it. Maybe another trip to your bountiful home. Nothing like inviting yourself in! ♥♥♥
