I lined the edge of each page with a different print of washi tape like I do with most of my altered journals. I also added baker's twine as a tie closure.
On each page, I glued a cutout from one of two free comic books I got from Free Comic Book Day.
I really enjoyed making the altered journal, so I made another for a stuffed bubble mailer swap. That one was just distressed and had a tie. Then I made another distressed journal for my shop. I haven't listed it yet, but I will soon. It says "Schemes" on the front and has a tie as well. It has round Chinese tapestry stickers on each page in lieu of the washi tape.
I'm also participating in a mashup swap with Naomi. She chose "Bob's Burgers" and "Star Wars" as her themes. The first thing I thought of was Tina Belcher as Princess Leia. I was looking on Pinterest for ideas. I had always thought I'd make a doll of some sort. I saw some BB/SW mashup embroidery and decided that's what I'd do. I drew my own pattern freehand, but I'm not sure if it's my final draft or not.
I'm wondering if I should get rid of her bangs and redo her buns. Plus, I don't think her cheek/neck connection is right. Her hair clip is on the wrong side because the pattern is in reverse. I probably will redo her hair.
