The Book of Odd...

After I got all of my housework out of the way,
last night & into the wee hours of the morning, and
all of this afternoon, I have been on a bookmaking frenzy.
Now that I haven't any outside art projects to work on I am
finding new ways to use my creative imagination. I took an
old vinyl 3-ringed binder and cut it down to a shape of a book
that I like working in; a tall skinny book, that is approximately
11 1/2"H x 7 1/2"W, with the pages slightly smaller in width.
I then grabbed up my supply of cardboard pieces and went
to town, cutting up all sorts of shapes to use for its pages.
I have semi-circles, triangles, 2 halves of a cross,
even a tree, & house shaped page. All that I
have left to do, is to play in my book now!
Above are images of my book, so far.

A book just for journaling....

After making modifications to this book three times. I've
decided to finally use it for straight journaling. I have
filled it with two-sided designer paper for the pages.

DARK PLACES

Well, here it is, my book for the Dark RR! Since part of the theme deals with dwellings, I've filled the book with pages made from wallpapers. All that is left to be done is to write a little blurb in my book and it will be ready to mail out to Karen. I am very excited about this RR. Everybody has such incredible themes: Vampires, Dark Souls, Dark Hearts & Winged Things, Dark Side of the Moon~Celestial, and Dia de los Muertos.
My theme is:
DARK PLACES: Sinister Dwellings, Eerie Cemeteries, Dark Minds, & the Haunting Entities that Inhabit them.
As I was taking the photos I got this above picture of my kitten 'Meesha' playing with the ribbons dangling from the side of my book. It looks to me like she is staring down an old button hanging from the red ribbon. lol The button resembles an old-fashioned door knocker with a lion head.
