Here are some of the pages from the journal. I had such fun with it, creating pockets for secret thoughts and making extra writing surfaces by recycling clothing tags.

But it wasn't just the love of pristine-ery that kept my hands off my journal during my trip and afterward. Truth be told, and as it happened, the pages were just too scratchy with texture for the good ink glide that I demand from my pen while journaling.
Hence, an un-journal. But just for now. My plan is to make prints of my journal pages on rich paper, design a cool binding, and then allow my ink--and my thoughts--to flow.
Thanks for listening.

I like the idea of a pristine un-journal....maybe when you make copies of the pages and re-bind them it will be another un-journal, or a journal-un-journal :o)
Ha! I'm liking the journal-un-journal idea, Cynthia!
Nothing worse than scratchy paper when smooth is what is wanted!
I've had that same problem with the texture not taking the ink. I've used teabag paper to solve it though. Just write what you want on the teabag paper and then adhere it with your gel medium on top of the whole business. It has a sheer quality like tissue paper but is quite a bit stronger.

Teabag paper. Fabulous idea. Thank you, Kimmie!
