Hand Painted Covered Journal

 I really have been having to much fun with this.  I have gotten so I can cover a journal in about 15 minutes.  I have now covered all of the original six that was in the pack I bought from Amazon, plus a journal I had bought at a thrift story and never used because I didn't like the cover. The second one I decorated I decided to paint by hand.   I have never really painted on cloth before and it was challenging to get the stems and leaves to paint on smoothly.  Still, I was happy with how it turned out and gave it to a friend for her birthday.

I know that I could enjoy painting more journals by hand, but I don't think I can expect a class of crafters to hand paint their newly covered journals and all be happy with what they end up with. 

Stay tuned for more journal decoration attempts.
