About Me
I recently watched a video from Ingrid Dijkers about re-purposing a three ring binder into an art journal. The concept got me thinking about an address book I bought years ago and never got around to filling in. My contacts are all digital now so it seemed like a great idea to use it for an art journal. I ended up collage-ing over it.
So now I had this fun new art journal binder and I thought about what I should use for pages. I remembered I had watched another video years ago on creating journal pages with Teesha Moore. I had a big stack of “card” pages and by chance they were exactly the right size for the binder. So I punched holes in them and now I am taking them out one by one and working on the base pages I had started. I felt so happy resurrecting these things!
So the collages are done and now I need to get to work on them with my pens and words and in the mail by 1/15!
The Sketchbook project sent me new moleskine – I picked the theme “sketchbook” because it could be anything I want to put in my book and I want try to sketch more and include more hand drawn elements in my art. So far I have created a cover:
