I know this is out of order. No. 14 should come much later. However, I forgot to scan this spread and when I finished scanning the journal I found that I had missed this one. I want to present the spreads in order of where they appear in the book.
Scanning each spread has proven to be difficult because there is so much this and that sticking out of the closed journal. So I have had to PhotoShop each spread. If you look at yesterday’s images you will get the idea of how the perimeter of each spread might look. PhotoShopping took off the ribbons, and string, and what-nots.
Yesterday, in the comments, there seems to be some confusion on what a stationery box might be. It is a box that holds notecards that one might send to friends. You break down the box so it is flat and then soak it in warm water. After about five or ten minutes you can start dissecting the wet layers or peel the layers back so you can have the substrate pages for the journal after those wet layers dry. Some tear irregularly. Some are very forgiving. That is part of the fun of this method of creating a journal. You use whatever results to make the journal.
Yesterday I mentioned that one might not want to use a corrugated box. I am going to dissect an Amazon delivery box today and see how it works.
