THINKING Green : Paper journals

I love scribbling on paper. And these latter years, I've taken to sketching as a breather. It seems all my love of these things have rubbed off on Jeanina.

Every night now, she hounds me for paper.

So an idea struck me, I recycled all the huge, heavy, unused scrapbooks (gifted to me) and made them into hand-made paper journals for nina and me. This recycling bit has been bugging me nowadays, especially upon stumbling upon this great helpful DIY site that fills up my braincells - especially when free time abound in my freelance life, nowadays.

Now the finished product. Re-used an old gift ribbon to bind the pages.


Still with blank covers, but just experimented with different methods of binding for the 2 others. 




As for Jeanina's cover design, she has her own kiddie scribbles on it now. She yelped at the sight of the 2 journals (ribboned and handsewn) I made purposely for her.


Somehow, this is how one would look like complete. This one is mine. :) 














Awaiting my pen's menacing ideas, brilliant storyline or awkward doodles, perhaps? :)
