You can judge a journal by its cover.

You can judge a journal by its cover, if that's all you have made so far. 
I'm far from finished and already I know I'm addicted! 
What started out yesterday being a bunch of scrap fabric pieces, turned into 2 panels approx 10 x 20 inches and a snippet roll from the really small scraps.
The fabric pieces started out larger, but I cut, tore, then sewed some together, then cut in half again and sewed more pieces in between.
When I finally had the 2 panels, I sewed all the small bits to make a snippet roll. I've started adding trims and beads and I just cant leave it alone.
These 2 panels will be for 2 upcoming gypsy style journals finished size approx 9 x 6 and may have a flap over closure (still undecided)
My next step is to cut fabric to size, finish the edges and start embellishing each square space.
But I am so excited at the results so far, can't stop smiling, and had to share it in progress.
I will share progress and finished, when I put the books together.
Thx for looking!
