Above: Two 7 x 5.25 inch books made Friday using Nideggen (for text paper) and decorative paper made by me, read more below. Click to see an enlargement.

I love making journals with Nideggen for my text paper because I love drawing on it. (Look at posts from the December 2008. Many of them have images sketched and painted on Nideggen because it was in my last journal of 2008.) However, the paper's tan color is a bit difficult to coordinate with fabric and decorative paper. This fabric makes it look too dull, or Nideggen makes the fabric look too dull, and so on.
