The cover for my new journal. This is the first time I have started with the cover. So far I've only done one other cover. I wasn't sure about using the orange compo book and wanted to be sure I could live with it for the next couple of months. I was pleased with how it turned out. I was going to get rid of some old Birds and Blooms magazines that I have because I don't like the paper they are printed on. Then I wound up using the birds in this and a RR book. Guess I'll keep them. One of my students saw this laying on my desk and said, "Ugh, what got on the cover of that notebook?" So much for my aspirations of making it look better.
