However, I have discovered a few things I thought you might like links to. In no particular order:
Pick and mix paper and car boxes from PaperMill shop - I visited the shop at the factory today wher I saw the paper being made and came away with 4 boxes and three sets of alphabet stamps ( sale - 99p each!)Sheets of paper with seeds embedded so you can plant them after they have been used
Sheep poo paper
Blood on paper. Not as yucky as it sounds ( although I had a near miss with a bookmakers awl last night!) This is an exhibition of artist books at the V&A museum in London. Links give you a video, and pictures if you can't make it in person and this list of links to artist book pages.
Also interviews and ohter rescources- more than I have had time to explore!
A collection of minature book bindings which I get to go to at the John Rylands library in Manchester on Saturday. The catalogue from a previous exhibit of this collection retails for 475 on Amazon but is available online here.
A paper related bookshop from paper sellers - paper making, sketchbooks, travel, book arts etc.
Online classes in making studio journals and mixed media techniques for journals

Your journals are beautiful. I am going to avoid going to any of your links though, because I really don't need to start yet another hobby. I have been meaning to make some journal covers though. I think I can do that without starting a whole new hobby.
Have you got a new hobby, Helen? OR have learnt a new skill to add to your abilities as a Textile Artist? The latter is what I tell DH when he questions the new equipment being found a space in the work room!
best wishes
Thanks for the great links!
Your journals look great.
I've long felt that there are real, meaningful connections between paper and the paper arts and fabric/fabric arts. I love your explorations and discoveries---
Stop stop stop...
You're feeding my desire for paper and I just don't have the time at the moment.
Must. Resist.
