A Little Big Fat Nature Journal
Filed under Anthology ATC Mailer Kit, Art Projects, Back in Stock, Beads, Giveaways, Newsletters, Nichola Battilana, Sale
Ooo… ahhh! What a sweet little (fat) book Design Team Member Nichola Battilana has made! Note: the pages are ATC sized, so the size in these photos may be deceiving!

Here’s some text from Nichola’s blog post:
This month’s kit has sprouted an ATC-sized nature themed junk journal.
I separated the panels from an ATC Ticket Journal as a base for many of the pages and used some Water Media ATC Cards and Aged Parchment for others.
Really I just made a whole bunch of ATCs and then stitched those suckers together. They make a lovely fat little book.
To bind the pages I simply poked three holes in one side, and tied them together with Bakers Twine which I’ve muddied up with a wash of brown paint.
As usual, Nichola is made of magic. Her little book may have been a cinch for her to make but it is truly a thing of beauty.
Read more in Nichola’s blog post. And/or see her supply list (plus check below in the Giveaway for a chance to wins lots of goodies from this list AND to see a second project Nichola made)!
New Tiny Things!
Aw… more tiny things. I can see those pretty flower beads becoming a bouquet in that new tiny vase. And mice with bones? Sounds like Halloween!
