 So, we're only five months into the year approaching the sixth month, we're in the last couple weeks of May. And this is my vision board journal where I'm going to be creating vision boards all year as inspiration for future works and future artistic journeys. And it already looks like this. So, as much as it pains me to do, I think before it becomes a problem we need to expand the spine on this. Like what I did on my other one. Let me grab it. Hold on. This one. So, I'm hoping to do it to this one before the spine gets all curly and wonky like it is in this one. I mean the pages are holding together, but yeah. So, this was by no means a perfect job, but you know. It is what it is and it is working out okay. And I'm going to be working on the last few pages in this and trying to get this done. But in the meantime, this one needs some help. So, I'm going to do that. I'm going to speed forward through the process. I have a video on how I did the first one. I will come back and do a little chatting and let you know how I thought this one went. I'm really going to try to not stitch the signature. Restitch all the signatures. I really don't want to have to do that. So, we'll see if I can manage. I don't know. Alright, I'll be back. Wish me luck. Every time I do one of these I feel like I get a little bit better at it and I learned something new. What I learned with this one is I do like the idea of cutting away or tearing or scraping away the tissue paper that's gluing the back of the spine and covering the stitching on the signatures in the moleskin journal and loosening up the signatures just a little bit, ideally without breaking the threads or having to re-stitch the whole thing. That being said, do it very carefully. I would recommend, and the next time I do one of these, I will do all the steps I did here, but before I start taping it together or put tape over the spine, I think what I would do is take a little bit of PVA glue or yes paste or something along those lines and glue a new piece of thin tissue paper or vellum or something on the spine over the stitches in their loosened form, loosen them up a lot and then re-glue a new piece of paper then start putting the journal back together. I did separate the stitching and the signatures a little bit with a sharp X-Acto knife or craft knife. I would do it very carefully. I did go through a couple of spots and so I went through the journals. This is some stuff I've just got to glue in here. I went through the journal in certain spots and I put some masking tape over the spots that I accidentally cut through or over the spots where the signature was stitched originally together to hold those threads in place. I just used regular masking tape so I can still see the vision board pieces that I put on or ready through the masking tape so that works just fine. Because it's masking tape, I can write or draw on it in future blank pages and spaces like over here very easily. I think that'll work just fine. I do still think it's going to end up like this at the end of the year but the spine being this thick it will accommodate it a little better than the original I think. So there you have it. I still like using mole skins. I like using the paper. I know it's thin but I do think going forward I will go through on a new one and I will probably take like half of the pages out. So that's probably a thing. Anyway, vision boards. Let's get back to it, shall we? Alright, I'll be back. Don't forget to check out the video description for relevant links.
