Book Themed Bullet Journal - Last Few Spreads

[seleneheart]

These are the last spreads of my year-long childhood book themed bullet journal, being spring, March, April, and May


I didn't get this one done until the middle of April due to still recovering from my injury. But I left pages for it, and got it finished eventually.


LOL, March. I was two days post-surgery and high as a kite on painkillers when I made this. I forgot to take a picture before I filled it in, but frankly, I'm just glad I managed to do this one.


A childhood book so beloved that I literally have an illustrated copy of it on my coffee table as we speak.


And finally, the series of books that made me reluctant to even taste mushrooms until well into adulthood. If you know, you know. I'm still not really a fan of eating fungus.

I really enjoyed have a theme for the entire year, with this being the second year in a row that I've done so. I'll spend May getting my next bujo set up - the theme will be medieval. I'll post at the end of summer. Speaking of, do you know how hard it is to find examples of the letter "J" in the various medieval texts? I'm guessing it wasn't much in use back then. However, there's 3 months out of the year that start with that letter in English.

Wow! this are real cute pages ^_^ hoping you'll find your medieval Js eventually \o/

[seleneheart]

Thanks!
I'm working on finding the J's. I'll have to find something similar and then adapt it, I think.

Wow!

It's beautiful.

A lot of people used "I" in place of "J" as in Latin, which was then an auxiliary language.

I figured it was something like that - unfortunately, I need three J's for the upcoming year, and I don't want to use I's.

Re: Wow!

J became more common in the Renaissance. You might find some examples there from a similar font.

Thanks for the tip!

I'm no expert, but I like diverse fonts -- the collections for my poetic series have title fonts that match the mood or culture of the storyline. There are whole families of older fonts that are heavily used in calligraphy, and are fun to use for things like initial capitals. I've run into the problem of missing letters, symbols, etc. before so I know a few workarounds.

Those are lovely! The Babar page is so nostalgic… I loved the books (and the TV show) as a kid.

[seleneheart]

Thanks! I loved those books, but I never saw the TV show.

[goss]

I love these! <3

[seleneheart]

Thanks!

How cute!! I especially love the Babar one.

[seleneheart]

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with that one too.

Ooooh the way you use lines in the sailboat one is *chef's kiss*. I should try that too!

[seleneheart]

Thanks. I was very out of it when I made that. ^_^
