article: 12.1.2006 Cover & Manifesto | written down

I made a cover and did a manifesto page but then settled today on the way I want my journal to be bound so I had to change it a bit.

I am going to print each page as a 5×7 photo. I am doing my journal digitally this year. I will send it to my photo lab as 5×7 proofs to be bound on the top small edge. I am doing this so in future years, I can hang it over a ribbon or over a stand and flip through each day as we celebrate the season in years to come. In five or six years, I think it will be fun to have them lined up on a ribbon or something neat that will hang them side by side and we will flip through them all each year remembering as we make new.

The top tab is to make room for the binding coil and to bring some continuity to the album because who knows what will be on the bottom half… I plan to coordinate the album but want to be free to create for the topic more than the colors of the album if they fight with each other. ;)

I am such an organized, boxy one so I am trying to be open to free and messy if it works :)

Thanks so much for all that are sharing in this experience… what fun we are in for and it is so exciting to see friends from all over the world.

:) Teresa
