My Art Journey Art Journal


Hello Crafty Friends!
I am in line today for a Mixed Media Tutorial over at STAMPlorations.

I had this idea of making my own art journal for a while. The idea is to have something where I can put ideas on canvas and record the materials used and observations made.

The whole book is made from scratch using canvas pieces, card, thick card, sketch paper and a coloured page from Color Blooms, I made a while ago using Brushos and Promarkers. Ribbons, sequins and glitter were pretty extras.

Here are a couple of photos of the finished front cover as a little teaser ...



and some of the inside too ...




There is a slideshow video detailing each one of the steps over on the STAMPlorations Blog or on my YouTube Channel here.

I am entering at:
Craft Stamper Make It Take It - Anything Goes
Mixed Media Monthly challenge #32 - Put a Stencil On It 
613 Avenue Create - Create something that features your favourite technique, mine is constructing my own books. I've made several over the years and this one is the largest so far




That's it from me for today. Have a lovely week!
hugs

  2. Great journal and your project has lots of wonderful visual interest! I love the leather ties, such a nice element that truly elevates the design! Very clear design point of view and excellent presentation. Thanks for sharing with us at 613 Avenue Create!
