...Another Journal =) This one was originally a "Sword of Shannara" book by Terry Brooks that was falling to pieces...
...Soooo I glitzed it up. The cover is made of dyed paper and cardboard, with pen drawings... Each page is a dyed-paper page I made, decorated with paper flowers, and lined paper glued onto them.
took about... twelve hours(?) all up. Oh, and the pages were bound to the spine with Christmas wrapping paper ribbon. The back of the book has a sheet of dark blue material and paper glued to it, so that when the book is put down it doesn't gather visible debris.

Soooo... Yeah.

Thankyou! =) haha, if there is, I'm afraid I haven't seen it... It's simply a matter of doing what feels right I'm afraid =/
The paper was dyed by just splatting dye on paper... that pretty much sums it up!
