Linda's Magic Workshop - Linda Britt Design

Once in awhile, I take a class that really resonates!  Anke Humpert's  class on notebooks in Polymer Clay Adventures was one of those classes.  Mosaic Notebook Covers with Anke Humpert at PCA 2017.   I have a very good friend who is a quilter.  She was having a birthday and I wanted to make something special.  It seemed like a polymer cover on a spiral journal would be perfect.     Finding the right kind of notebook with the right kind of spiral turned out to be more difficult than anticipated.  I found one at The Dollar Store but it was not as thick as I wanted.   I purchased it and b y the time I made the book  cover, several pages had to be removed so the cover could turn.  Next time I'll look for a thicker one!

Selecting a color scheme I chose several textures since I wanted the cover to look like it was quilted fabric.  Each pattern piece is a different texture
