I created this journal as a featured artist for one of Ali Manning's Vintage Page Designs five-day challenges. It's a long stitch with a decorated spine and I decorated mine with buttons and beads. The cover is painted and stenciled Kraft-tex, which a durable paper cloth that does not tear. It has a really nice feel to it. The journal is 4 x 6" and is filled with high quality Canson mixed media paper for a variety of uses, from writing and journaling to sketching, collage, painting and even light watercolor.
