Inspired by Duct Tape?! Of course!

So I had a moment of unexpected inspriation this last week.  It is a bit odd but otherwise interesting I think.  Something that I will surely repeat.

Recently, my current moleskin blew a seam and I was faced with either abandoning the book after only partual completion or attempt a repair.  Several folks said just stick some scotch tape on it but of course this would only be a short term solution.  I considered gluing it, but this would result in the book not laying flat when in use, not a good option. 

In the end, the most obvious solution was the one that I executed.  Duct Tape.  I happened to stop in at Kroger on the way home from work one day, and while browsing for the good ol gray stuff, I found it in RED!  And thus was born my firery expedition into the world of Dante infused creativity.  

All total the project took about three hours while sitting in my comfy easy chair in the basement watching some good ol' Battlestar Galactica.  Thanks to my buddy Bob for that awesome obsession.  

Here are the results!  More to come for sure.  The white stuff around the edges is where I let the book sit in the sun too long and the glue became soft and the artwork slid - any suggestions for how to lock this down after creation completion?
