BOS

I started making my BOS the other day I bought a 2in. binder, just plain white, and some spray glue, tissue paper, little round mirrors, and glue back gem stones. I used the silver, white, and black tissue paper and glued it right to the binder. Made a big pentacle right in the middle, and adhered the mirrors on the tip of each of the points. I also filled it with different types of paper such as; resume paper, parchment paper, paper with decorative borders around it, and I'm gonna make so home made paper too. I really like how it is turning out; it is so much more personal to me this way. Every time I  finish writing on one of the pages I cover it with plastic paper covers. I also purchase challigraphy markers, water color drawing color pencils, and a multitude of colored ink pen as well as regular markers. I know some of you really don't care, but I'm just so excited, and I thought I could give someone some ideas.

You're making homemade

You're making homemade paper?  Twilight Rain, I'm impressed!  I did that at a workshop once (so I guess technically it wasn't homemade at my house).  It was a very interesting weekend, and I came away with neat textured paper from torn-up cloth, including blue jeans, that were processed in an old blender before mushing, screening, and pressing to the window to dry overnight.  Some sheets include dried flowers worked into them.  The only thing is, I haven't found anything special enough to write on them!
