New Art Journals

The year's almost ending, and since I've managed to fill up my A6 journal and mini journal--most of the latter during Inktober--I made new art journals for the new year. Until recently, I used to enjoy my arty sessions on loose sheets, which I'd bind into a journal when I'd used up a fair number…

XOXO

Here's a recent art journal page of mine - In my handmade art journal, I'd included a tea-dyed textured paper sheet as well, and for this art journaling session, I used one of those pages. I started the session by spreading acrylics on a gel plate and smooshing the page onto it. I then ran…

New Art Journals

I'm ready for this year with a new pair of art journals--an A6 one and a mini-book--that I bound and prepped recently! (I actually have three journals now--I'd bound the third one last year, and use it occasionally.) So far, I've used loose A6-sized pages for my art journaling, which I'd eventually bind into a…

Bookbinding

I did some bookbinding recently to create an art journal - one with empty pages this time, so it's a brand new book ready for use! This journal is of my preferred A6 size. I cut out A5 sheets from a drawing book, which I then folded into half for A6 pages. I used a…
