I'll be interested to see what you think of the various papers you'll be using in your new journal. I just might have to buy the book ...

I just bought some 90# watercolor paper and also as luck would have it, some Canson Edition! At least I think that was what it was. Time to make a new journal! I think it will have a combination of 140#, 90# and Canson Edition. We'll see what happens.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453664334855050694.post-8171123089014471842010-06-04T19:24:48.638-07:002010-06-04T19:24:48.638-07:00very appealing page, and I had to smile at your co...very appealing page, and I had to smile at your comment about the flower and butterfly.Tyannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433810291222089814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453664334855050694.post-9985465850368134332010-06-03T15:49:21.812-07:002010-06-03T15:49:21.812-07:00Great page.

The best I have found for journals are the Aquabee Super Deluxe Sketchbook and the handbook journal - but if you want to make your own 90# should be fine because that is heavier than the paper that's in either of these two journals. Beautiful page though! Everyone is making me want that book. I have Journal Bliss by Violette, and The Decorated Journal by Gwen Diehn on order now. Hope to receive them soon.DALowe Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04777789854804146656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453664334855050694.post-66029354890733761422010-06-02T14:42:07.751-07:002010-06-02T14:42:07.751-07:00Lovely page my friend. :-)Lovely page my friend. :-)Artefaque: (är'tə-fākt') *https://www.blogger.com/profile/08421454425718009556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453664334855050694.post-29083793346776582792010-06-02T13:34:47.106-07:002010-06-02T13:34:47.106-07:00What a great page.

As for...What a great page. It's really pretty.<br />As for papers in journals, the one I made that I've been using I made out of regular cardstock that you buy at Staples in reams. To be honest, I coat each page with Gesso before I get started but I really haven't had a problem with bleeding. It does definitely buckle though. I really like that look. It makes it look used and loved!Creatively Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12305613257171431989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453664334855050694.post-78371780227236440952010-06-02T13:02:29.214-07:002010-06-02T13:02:29.214-07:00I have been making bound watercolor journals of St...I have been making bound watercolor journals of Strathmore Aquarius II paper and have been very happy with it. It folds and stitches well, and it doesn't buckle with watercolor. Don't let the fact that it is only 80 lb scare you. It buckles much less than 90 lb. No - I am not a Strathmore rep :) I'm just happy to have found it. It is, however, a little soft for pencil.<br /><br />Love your "C" page!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614772953402745061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453664334855050694.post-84354872272418848842010-06-02T10:41:08.130-07:002010-06-02T10:41:08.130-07:00Lovely addition to your alphabet book!
