As Persia's made her rounds, everyone's been adding pirate-ish charms to the cover. Here's what it looks like now, after 4 of us have added to it.
Pretty cool, huh? It's kindof an extra bonus of fun. In my stash I just happened to have a set of earrings I picked up at a thrift store or somewhere. Is this a pirate woman?
If not, it oughta be. So I added one to Persia's journal cover.
Then in my pile of old rusty metal cabinet hardware, I found an old metal drawer pull with a piratey looking ship on it. Perfect! So I made a doubloon and embossed it with the ship and a "P" for Persia and added it to the cover.
On the cover there's also fish, seashells, a parrot, a ship's steering wheel, an old rusty bit of metal, an octopus, another doubloon, a skull, etc, etc... Lots of tiny treasures.
When I was at the beach last month, I bought this little book about pirates for ideas.
I'm sending the book along with Persia for inspiration, and hoping Em's little girls will enjoy it, too.

The journal is cover is really coming to life. Everyone's doing a great job.
Everything you've done is so neat Gail. I love all of it. Persia was fun to work on wasn't she. You made her a "real" pirate with those cool additions.
