You've made these old books into such beaiful items! I agree about the lines adding to the character, like layers of life.

That was meant to say 'beautiful!' x
I know someone who always wrote on graph paper. It made whatever he jotted look like clever; like the start of a project or some mathematical workings.
(I don't think he was especially bright).
I can't begin to express how much I love these characters...love the old ledger you did these on...you are right the lines in the background get it more personality..wonderful work thanks for sharing!! May I ask what sort of graphite are you working with? I have had one heck of a time finding the right graphite to work with...either it is too pencil like or it is too smeary and messing. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much for your wonderful compliments.
Ardor, Thank you.
I use a graphite pencil for smearing. But I usually revert back to a soft lead pencil, an 8b to get the effect I want. It is soft but not too soft and will smear a little if I want it to.
Very nice journal pages. Love what you've done.
I love the journal pages!! You are so creative and your style and use of color is fab-O !!! xoxo
This journal is just awesome. Love your work!!!
The ledger book is great! The lines add a lot of interest. I feel the same way about wrinkled pages; they do eventually flatten out enough--I figure it adds even more depth. Lovely work. :)
