SUNDAY MORNING.....SATURDAY

Yesterday, I spent the whole day totally involved with covering a small binder to use as a journal for my Journaling class with Cathy Johnson online beginning Monday.
The binder is 10x7 inches and was the old blue cloth type. Don't know how long I have had it, but the price sticker inside said ''Sprouse Reitz $2.95''. I think I have had it for at least 20/30 years.
I first covered it with my oriental paper..'unryu'. I used Modpodge.
I painted a Watercolor and Ink Butterfly on the same paper...used a little glitter and the Modpodged it to the cover...along with the word "JOY"...on top of a piece of ''decorative music''.
I still have to line the inside of the cover, but so far am very happy with my results...:)
Of course to do this I dug out all sorts of art/craft supplies....and also got into sorting pens, pastels and so on...between letting layers of Modpodge dry on my Journal,....however I located all my Calligraphy and decorative writing books... and have put them all together...and went through all my calligraphy pens and supplies....and I have much more than I remembered!...:) Happy surprise!!
So it was a fun day...any day spent organizing art supplies, and creating art is a fun day...:)
