As soon as I started my new Nature Journal, I realised that I wanted it to have a custom cover. It should look special on my desk, immediately recognisable, friendly and inviting so that I feel drawn to picking it up and adding to it. And I remembered how I was taught to cover my books in primary school 60 years ago!
In this video I show you how I covered my journal simply and quickly with brown paper, which I decorated with ink and watercolor. The beauty of this system is that it protects your journal's "real" cover while you fill the journal, and when you're finished you can either take it off or create a new display cover - for example, one that represents the contents of the finished journal.

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...
