Kangas on alunperin IKEAsta ostettua ja tyynynpäällisistä yli jäänyttä. Levitin kanteen askarteluliimaa ja vedin kankaan päälle (1.). Selkämystä en vaivautunut fiksaamaan, se kun oli jo siisti. Sitä paitsi selkämyksen päällystäminen aiheuttaa aina kummallista kupruilua ja ryppyilyä sitten kun kirjan avaa. Etukannessa (2.) koristeita on hieman enemmän kuin takakannessa (3.), sillä kirjoitan lähtökohtaisesti aukeaman oikealla sivulle, ja napit tekisivät alustasta epätasaisen.
Kuten kulmista (1.) näkyy, työn jälki ei ole maailman siisteintä. Innostuin ja toteutin ideani nopeasti, enkä jaksanut kaivaa esiin edes teräviä saksia, vaan natkuttelin tylsillä menemään. Sisäkannet ovat sotkuiset ja rumat, onneksi niitä ei tarvitse katsella. Etusivu (4.) tosin muistuttaa siitä, ettei homman ole tarkoituskaan olla liian vakavaa. Sotku on jees, sitä kun on kuitenkin kaikkialla. (Paitsi tällä hetkellä täällä, kiitos kahden päivän siivousputken.)
Sisäsivuja luvassa huomenna!

The Cover Story
Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the notebook before covering it, but it was grey and had kittens in it. First I thought I could just glue fake moustaches to the kittens, but that didn't meet the case. So I covered the whole book.
The fabric is originally bought from IKEA and is leftovers from cushions. I put some glue to the covered and pulled the fabric over it (1.) There are more decorations on the front cover (2.) than the back cover (3.) I usually write on the right page, and buttons on the back cover would make it more difficult.
The quality of the work isn't the best possible, but as the first page reminds, it's not too serious. I got exited so I didn't plan, just created. There's mess everywhere anyway, so why to make a problem of it. (Well, at the moment this apartment is a mess free zone, as I've cleaned for two days.)
Going inside the book tomorrow!
