Well here we go. I finished another art journal. Here are all the portrait pages:
and the few landscape ones:
Here’s a video where I explain the binding and show all the pages.
Here are photos of the cover and sideways.
and a side look.
this book was hard for me at the beginning but towards the end, I found my groove and started finding what I think is my style. I loved the portrait orientation and I loved the large size. I loved the texture of the paper, too. We’re now moving to the next substrate for art journaling.
I am creating multiple art journaling pages a week for July and August (and maybe longer). You can read more about it and the book I am using for these pages at the top of this blog post.
Looks great, Karen! Love seeing your pages bound.
This looks amazing Karen, so verrrry happy for you!! I like your old pages a lot but have to say the white background is really you and all the bright colors with it. You have come a long way my friend and I couldn’t be happier for you.
So does this mean your ready to do a art journal class now??? hint hint!! I’m only half kidding, maybe one day you will be ready. Enjoy your next journal!!
lol i still feel grossly underqualified 🙂
I have so enjoyed this journey with you. I have my paper and my paints and just couldn’t get started….I now want to start my art journal. Your blog has inspired me to get going.
Thank you so much for sharing how you finish your book. It really is a work of art.
What is the brand of journal you spoke of in the video that you can put your pages back into when you are finish creating pages?
It’s called Komtrak. Let me know if you can’t find it, I’ll track down a link for you.
You inspire me! I love getting updates to your blog and now today’s video on your finished journal. I like that you set time aside each day to work on your art. When I read that you were doing that, I decided to try to find time to scrapbook each day. Early, early morning is best for me and I can’t believe what a difference in my day when I start it scrapbooking. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your ideas.
thank you so much Roxanne, I am so happy that you decided to take some time for yourself everyday!! Isn’t it awesome!!
It’s so wonderful to see all this finished pages together… You’re a great inspiration and motivator to me… thanks for sharing.
