Redone a notebook cover

I have this notebook and the cover is a bit dirty looking. So I thought I redo the cover by pasting over with a new marbled paper.

Projects you can do with marbling

There must be uses for all these beautiful marbled papers, you may ask?
Well, you could cover your blank journal with the marbled paper.

Or you could cover your stationeries with the marbled papers. Venetian and Florentine stationery shops carry loads of these items.

Marbling Session

I made some marbled papers together with my son on the last week of year 2006. My son enjoyed the session with me even though he made only a few sheets. I continued to make the rest until the colours ran out.

Then it was time to clean up, urgh, the unexciting necessity.

Will post some images soon.
