Art & Visual Journaling
Fri, June 6, 2008 at 03:44PM 
When I found an inexpensive yet sturdy hardback ($1) at the discount book store, it was an incentive to alter the book and make an art journal. With the book open, these pages measure 8 x 12". To strengthen and prep the book, I glued pairs of pages together with mod podge. The background is a map with layers of gesso, golden fluid acrylics and fiber paste. Ready for journaling, collage or ephemera.
An art journal background can be anything at all:
-
Paint with black gesso and journal in silver paint marker
-
Collage with magazine or tourist ephemera
-
Paint an acrylic or watercolor wash
-
Staple a sheet of yellow lined notebook paper
-
Glue in swatches of cardstock
-
Paint with white gesso and add lines with markers or crayons
