Coptic Bound Bird Journal & Showcase Spot

I just got an email saying my decorative paper and glue I ordered from Hollander's was shipped today (they wouldn't ship before because the glue might get messed up in the cold temperatures). I'm excited I'll be able to start creating stuff again. I have lots of fabric in my dorm, so I think I might make some more fabric journals (which I haven't done in a while) and some journals/boxes with my new decorative paper. I also should have my paper cutter coming in the mail.

I got this new item listed:

Coptic Bound Postal Bird Book



I made this book over winter break and I really like how it turned out. It uses larger than average computer paper so it gives you a lot of room to write, draw and journal. The covers are collaged together with decorative paper. It was fun because I got to sort of make an artwork with the cover and not just cover them with decorative paper. I actually ended up collaging it because I think I messed up putting decorative paper on it (it might have got ripped and I moved it before the glue was dry) so I ended up trying something different it.

I purchased a spot for the Valentine's Day showcase. I wasn't sure if I should because it's kind of expensive and I always hear the showcase doesn't do much. It did get me more views when I did it before and I think my heart shaped journal is perfect for it so I decided to do it. Hopefully, it will bring me some Valentine sales and/or hearts.
