I have been writing a lot in my 2019 Grey Commonplace Journal. This is the journal that I spoke about here. I have started to decorate the blank and written pages with fabric and thread. I would recommend sewing in the journal before it's bound. Of course, I didn't think of this step beforehand.
Here is how I sewn on the pages using my sewing machine. A bit awkward but it worked.
I used scraps of paper and fabric to make these decorative page accents. All 4 were sewn in using my sewing machine.

I
have been using this 8.5”x5” journal as a place to off load paint from my
brush, to test pens/crayons/pastels and to glue down random ephemera. It’s made from a recycled book cover and bound
using the Coptic stitch. Each page is pretty full at this point. The next step
is to develop the pages into completed journal spreads. The collages that
incorporated thread that I started creating in my last journal were inspiring
to me so I want to dedicate this journal to continue exploring this style. I thought
it would be fun to title this journal so; I’m calling it - “Hanging by a
Thread”. These are the four artwork that I have made this past week in this journal.

Here is a link where I first talked about this 4"x6" sketchbook journal, click here.
I continue using paper scraps and paint that is sitting on table in front of me.
I decided these two collages will be the last pages of this sketchbook journal. The remaining 3 pages will be for notes. Such as what I liked, what didn't work out as planned, makes of the colors that I was drawn to, if I will develop some of the designs, etc.
