It seems to put a positive spin on the dreaded job!Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939236758201468375.post-83803897222229187242007-07-15T18:37:00.000-06:002007-07-15T18:37:00.000-06:00Thanks for the comments & questions! :) Lillian,...Thanks for the comments & questions! :) <BR/>Lillian, it is fun making art journals whether for myself or to swap or for round robins!<BR/>Freebird, there are all kinds of art journal swaps & round robins, but not alot of rules. You take a couple people with the desire, & you take turns working in each others art journal. You can have a particular theme if you want. It stretches you sometimes to have to work to another's theme if it's not a fave of yours! You probably could google how to make one, but I've tended to fly by the seat of my pants since I live on an island & have to make do. I'll see if I can post some pics of one of my swaps later!<BR/>As for those book thongs...they are decorative book marks that fit over both sides of a page & go down into the crack of the book. (I just KNOW you all have the image now!) You can use a bead stopper at the top & bottom so it doesn't slide around yet still be adjustable to the size of the book. There might be some instructions online.<BR/>The reason I didn't totally want to close up the book with wire yet, or even something else, is occasionally I like to take the page out of the book to work on it. These art journals can get pretty chunky with all the embellishments!<BR/>Happy creating to you all!<BR/>With aloha,<BR/>CCCChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377152303529361161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939236758201468375.post-25766818174758104122007-07-14T14:20:00.000-06:002007-07-14T14:20:00.000-06:00Okay, okay, I must be coming out of the dark ages....Okay, okay, I must be coming out of the dark ages. How does an art journal swap work? And what is a book thong? I've used elastic for a book closure but this was inside the book? If you have 18 gauge wire you could wrap it around a bottle form to make new, colored rings for your book in any size you want. 20 gauge might work if you wrap it twice like a key ring. Have a good time.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939236758201468375.post-20336586617029401412007-07-14T11:06:00.000-06:002007-07-14T11:06:00.000-06:00Isn't it fun making art journals?

Should one person be allowed that many? But then, you ARE the goddess! Do you do 'em for yourself, or swap with others?<BR/>Aloha to you both!<BR/>HRH CCCChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377152303529361161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939236758201468375.post-54452668577645844572007-07-10T20:58:00.000-06:002007-07-10T20:58:00.000-06:00Cool.
