I made a journal for a collaborative art project. For the cover, I printed a photo of my cat's eye on fabric, and a second print on shear fabric, and layered them together on the front cover, which is covered with tapestry fabric. I used heavy watercolor paper for the pages, and sewed them with a long stitch. I like how it turned out, and will likely do some embellishing as I go along. For now, I just need to create the title page, and the first spread, before sending it to my partner. In turn, she'll send her journal to me so I can work on a spread in her book. We'll exchange them for a few months or a year - it is a big challenge for me, but exciting!
