Fantasy ATC

I enjoy reading old school Science Fiction. the new stuff does not appeal to me in the least, it simply doesn't have the charm of the older efforts. I was listening to Fahrenheit 451 while making this one btw.

I used a loose letter alphabet that I picked up from Michaels for $1.50 long ago.  When I first started the journal, I added some colour to each and every page. Some more, some a little.

Not really 'junk' so I decided they are 'junque'... It all started because I had old calendars I did not want to throw away.

In the end I made 2 completed books, but I still have quite a bit of stuff left, and the current calendar is the perfect candidate for becoming another journal at year's end. For my Travel themed journal, my starting point was the calendar that had a travel theme. I covered the covers with some designer paper by Ranger ( bought at Michaels) I will certainly still add ephemera to the cover. I covered the spine with paper canvas that I found on Amazon. It was pricey but works really well. The covers themselves are just sturdy, but not too thick and heavy, cardboard. There are 3 signatures and I added them with pamphlet stitch to the spine of the cover. All those black threads are from t...
