Last year I did all my art journalling in Moleskines, a little notebook sized one for my main journal, and a landscape watercolour one for trips and holidays....but this year I thought I'd make my own book from scratch
So here it is!
I've used all sorts of different papers, I think it's going to be fun to work in - it should help to combat the old white page syndrome, anyway.
The binding is long stitch, similar to the book I made for Alison's
christmas pressie, but bigger (the pages are roughly 7.5" x 5") and with
a lot more pages (11 signatures of three sheets each)
I just wish I some time to actually DO some actual art journalling in it! But I need to get my Sketchbook Project book finished first.....deadline looming.....eek......wish me luck!
It's a beautiful blank canvas. I can't wait to see what you fill it up with!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely GORGEOUS.
