Altered Journal Cover

jou5
I love working with metals. So this was a labor of love. I had a leather journal very plain and not to inviting. It has been sitting around my studio for a long time. So I decided to make it in to a compelling door into journaling for me. I used MD Craft & Hobby metal copper sheeting to produce a journal that calls me in!
Supplies:
Altered Pages
Delicata Ink Pad
Color Pencils (on Hand)
Glue (on Hand)
Embossing Folders and machine (on hand)
Collage Sheet
Scissors

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
