![Scrapbook: made, Japan / filled, Europe, 2005](https://daveostory.com/wp-content/uploads/journal-red-japanese.jpg)
I did not make this book, but rather found at a yard sale, and filled with travel ephemera and oddities from magazines and newspapers, wrapped with narrative annotations collected on a trip to Netherlands, Spain and Portugal in 2005. Added a few snapshots and poems and tied it all up with the attached ribbon. This book is very much an refined example of the more-renegade variations I create. The elegant black binding allows the outline of the binding thread to still add texture and the hand cut, heavy weight paper inside holds the almost ridiculous amount of stuff I glued inside.
A few poorly photographed examples included for representative use. Other pages contain things not about beer in Belgium (including newspaper announcing death of Catholic Pope John Paul 2).
