On Friday I shared the endpapers from my most recent art journal. In case you don't know what endpapers are, the dictionary defines endpapers as:
a sheet of paper, often distinctively colored or ornamented, folded vertically once to form two leaves, one of which is pasted flat to the inside of the front or back cover of a book, with the other pasted to the inside edge of the first or last page to form a flyleaf.
Friday's post got me thinking about endpapers and so I went poking around the internet and I wanted to share what I found because they're wonderful! Here are some images of some really cool endpapers that go beyond beautiful patterns and colorful marbling:
The next time you're in a used book store, go looking for interesting endpapers in the hard cover books! You might be amazed at what you find!
Thanks for stopping by!
End papers are a reason I still buy some books in hardcover!
These are fun finds as well as inspiration for journals. Thank you for sharing!

Good Morning Julie,
Oh my these end papers are beautiful. I would never had thought to remove them from older books. Wow you have shown me something here and I think I will now be on the look out for end papers.
Very nice indeed.

P.S. Great job yesterday on HSN. I watched all the shows Love the Brother Runway embroidery sewing machine. It embroiders and it also sews. The items that where displayed where just beautiful. Loved the little rose purse.
Happy you showed the team up with the sewing machines and the scan n cut. Showing that you can also sew paper was fab. I have only used the straight stitch to sew in the spine in my journal. I will now try it out with the decorative stitches.
Happy Crafting and creating
