A Wizard's Mixed Media Journal ~ Part 2 ~ HufflePuff's Journal

Hi everyone, I'm back for part 2 of my Wizard Journal Series. If you missed it, check out Part 1 HERE Today's journal is Hufflepuff inspired! Hufflepuff colors are really a beautiful combination - Deep Yellow - Yellow Ochre - Light Grey -Dark Grey - Black For this journal, I used yarn as a design element. The spine is my favourite - I love how it turned out although it did give me some grief. I had applied strips of yarn along the spine but when it had dried I wished I had cut them long enough to wrap around to the front and back just a tad.  So I extended these with hot glue but that was a disaster as they came right off. I then added glossy accents to hold down the non-functional glue extensions and then painted the glossy accent dimensional domes gold. I also love the gold 'gilding' effect around the edges. Check out my process video HERE . Thanks for looking. xxAmira
