This is the cover of a Moleskine Cahier journal, which is approximately 3.5" x 5", and made out of heavy Kraft paper. I covered it with various torn paper, painted tyvek, part of an old map, etc., and glued everything in place with Mod Podge, and then used a rubber stamp to add the "Dream" image. It's one of my personal favorites, and I'm kind of bummed the pages inside have goofy notes in them... nothing worth keeping, that's for sure. Maybe I'll remove the pages and add in new paper, so I can reuse the cover! I like the versatility of these small books, and the texture of the pages is lovely. I have such a good time making the covers of these little books my own!
You are really great in using the collage.

Kathy
First thank you for stopping by my blog.
I love your mixed media collage work combining letters and design. Wonderful gallery!
I have a couple of moleskins but have not done anything to the covers. Hmm I may have to try this sometime.
You have a wonderful sense of color and combinations.
I'll be back.

I agree with you, that cover is worth keeping and using more so that you can enjoy it mmore actively!

It's perfect! I love how you only used a few collage items, but the end result is so dramatic! Very eye catching. :)
