Terri Stegmiller shared her process for creating an inspiring cover that transforms an ordinary composition book
HERE. For a bit more info, I followed the link on her post, and am also enjoying the book she wrote with Sue Bleiweiss,
Creative Ways with Books and Journals. Combining bits and parts of the various instructions to suit myself, I had fun yesterday making this journal cover for my daughter. Tonight is family pizza night and I can't wait to see the grin on my DD's face when I give her the journal ;-0 Not bad for an experimental prototype.....
For all you tanglers out there......
Don't know what kind of craft/hobby stores you have where you are, but my town has Michael's - a large chain that has a presence in many US states. I had read recently that people are using the old plexiglass photo cubes for displaying their Zentangle© tiles. Michael's has new ones for $2.99 and they are so perfect for the 3.5 x 3.5 tiles.
That journal cover is brilliant, how clever that a new book can be slipped in when the old one is finished. Lucky daughter, I bet she'll be grinning from ear to ear!
