It's been months now since I made these journals and I'm loving them!!! I have two active with one as a combination planner, art pages, and section with different papers (dot, graph, blank) for note taking. The other is strictly for sketching, mixed with three different type papers - Strathmore 500 Imperial 140lb Cold Press, Stonehenge 90, and Stonehenge Aqua 140lb Cold Press. In both I have pocket folders I made to carry smaller loose sketches (on scrap size paper), business cards, or loose notes.
I LOVE the freedom of removing pages when I want to sketch or paint flat. Also makes it easier to scan. Then there's the option and freedom of moving pages around in any order I might like.
I'm still undecided what I want to do with the finished pages. Maybe down the road I might remove the sheets creating signatures and binding in a hand sewn hardbound book... or ... I might just keep making new fabric traveler journals and keep my full ones as I would any other type journal book. The different patterns and colors of the covers look neat on shelves, along with the charms hanging.
