River Songs Journal





This post was reposted because for some unexplained reason Blogspot took it down as meeting some undefined objectional reason but then the next day said it was OK. Go figure.


This journal based on the Tardis was created in May 2020. The dimensions are 7 5/8 tall by 5 1/2 inches with a 1 1/4 spine. I was inspired by others I saw on the internet, but mainly by the one made by Sea Lemon. There are bookboard pieces glued to the front cover and spines creating a 3d effect before gluing on the hand-painted muslin fabric. I added a loop of red twine ribbon in the spine in case I ever found anything to dangle off the book. There are seven signatures with eight pages and one additional signature with four pages and a file folder containing the pull-out photo strip of the 13 Dr. Whos bringing the total number of signatures to eight. 








I had won an assortment of bookbinding supplies from Roz in an internet giveaway several years ago. One of the items was a large sheet of hand-marbled paper. It was beautiful but until this time I never had a book it would go with. The pattern reminded me of the special effect the traveling Tardis creates. 










This pull-out has photos of the first thirteen Dr. Who's.
