And we're both finished!
Here's mine as it was yesterday:
The edged bound and trimmed, or should that be trimmed and bound? There was an awful lot of measuring and checking and checking and measuring before I took the scissors to it.
I left it folded and pegged around the book overnight. This is the front.
It's a soft cover Moleskine ruled notebook with about 200 pages, or 400 sides, which should last me a long time! I'm working at catching up with writing everything that's on screenshots and bits of paper into my current notebook, so that I can start this one as soon as possible. I find it difficult to be disciplined about finishing off one notebook before starting the next, as my shelves of half-empty notebooks and sketchbooks can testify.
Ang finished her Cover Story a few days ago and blogged about it here. It looks wonderful, do go and look.
I had an intriguing looking packet from her in the post today; A card, a flat gift of a lovely leather book mark with a little pewter Canterbury Pilgrimage scallop shell and... the doings for our next collaboration. We're off; the official start is 1st August... what's the betting that both she and I will have started before then! My mind is buzzing with ideas. I should jot them down in my new notebook (aha, an excuse to start it!) before I forget them...

It's lovely to finish a project and how attractive they both are. It's exciting to start a new idea. We're all waiting to see the beginnings!
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy our collaborations, especially this one which has resulted in something we can actually use.
DeleteIt's been a very interesting project.
ReplyDeleteI think it's been the most enjoyable of the three so far.
DeleteWhat a lovely project to work on with friends. Useful pieces like this book cover are the best!
ReplyDeleteOur friendship developed with the the projects. When we began the first one several years ago now we didn't know each other except through our blogs.
DeleteIt is really lovely. I was concerned it wouldn't sit well on a soft cover, but it appears to fit beautifully
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realised that I'd ordered a notebook with a cover until it arrived. I was very relieved to find that it worked!
DeleteIt looks lovely. Such clever work from you both. I await with anticipation your new project. Your readers are so lucky as we get to share with you. Thank you Sue H
ReplyDeleteThank you too!
DeleteThis is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you. We're both very pleased at how they turned out.
DeleteReally lovely. Carole R. Look forward to seeing your next project together.
ReplyDeleteThe next 'reveal ' will be at the end of August!
