Does this need to be store bought journal and altered or do we make the pages and bind them?

ariestess 03/ 6/2013 #

Just to clarify, because I'm tempted here... It's JUST 10 pages that need to be decorated or a minimum of 10 pages? I'm thinking of making/binding the journal, so want to make sure I have enough of the paper I'd want to use for it.

LunaMoody 03/ 6/2013 #

Ariestess....... it needs to be 10 decorated pages. If you want to do more then 10 pages that is fine but you must have the 10 pages

Krono........It can be a store bought journal but since it is only 10 pages I'd prefer it to be handmade

kromo 03/ 6/2013 #

Planning on making one. One more question so everyone is on the same page. I read it as 10 pages front and back - 20 decorated pages. Or is it 10 decorated pages - 5 front and back?

Everyone seems to have different ideas of a page do I've seen, so I wanted to make sure I was reading right.

Susi 03/ 6/2013 #

This sounds like a fun swap, but I'm wondering the same thing as @kromo I'm also still not quite sure if this is a completely decorated journal, or if the decorations are like a possible journal prompt, or something that the person can incorporate into their own art. I'm guessing that this is an art journal that our partner can work in. I hope my questions make sense. Thanks!

Susi 03/ 6/2013 #

Okay, I just saw that we are to leave about 1/3 of each page "open" for our partner to work in. That is not really a lot of space. It seems to me that for it to be an actual art journal, we'd decorate no more than 1/4 of each page so there is plenty of space to make art!

LunaMoody 03/10/2013 #

Kromo ....... sorry I didn't notice your question before this. It's 10 pages front and back. Which would be 20 decorated pages.

Susi...... No you don't decorate the journal completely, You do it in a way that leaves it open for your partner to add to it whatever they might want to add. Pictures, writing whatever they want to add. Look at the picture in the listing to give you an idea. See how it leaves have the page open to add to. It has color added to it but it's still open space, Ok I'll change it to decorate 1/2 the page instead to give more space to add to.

kromo 03/10/2013 #

Themes for me... hmmm...

Vintage/distressed.

Aqua and red (is that a theme)

Victorian/steampunk

whereswaldo 03/11/2013 #

AmookIslandCreations 03/12/2013 #

kromo 04/14/2013 #

I have a sneaky suspicion that I'm about to be flaked on .... my partner has not logged in since prior to swap sign up date, got a 1 for her last swap, and this swap is the only one on her dashboard.
