Material Musings - Handbag Fabric Art Journal and More

 

Did you catch last weeks Material musings where I show how you can recycle material to create art journals.  Check it out above.

I have really enjoyed working in these Fabric art journals.  They incorporate both fabric and watercolor paper or card inside that serves as the signatures.  

I think one of my favorite journals is the handbag one, made out of one of my favorite handbags, I gave it new life after it could no longer serve as a handbag.  A great way to recycle.

I have also used a lot of texture on the art journal covers with textured paint or used unlikely materials such as chamois leather.

If you would like to see how the handbag journal was created, you can check out my Mixed Media Art Journal Bundle course HERE

Welcome to September and the Free Digital Art Papers

Welcome to September, and we have available in our Arts Resource Hub a set of creative papers that you can use for your craft projects and art journals.

If you are wondering what you can create with them, they can be art background pages, I create a mini art journal with mine.

In the video I share what I did with August papers.

All papers are available, so you can mix and match.  Come and join us on the Arts Resource Hub and get hold of your papers for September.

For further Information Check out the Art Resource Hub HERE

You will find all the papers from previous months available for use as well.

Material Musings - Fabric Art Journals

Come and check out the latest Material Musings where I share a variety of fabric art journals that I work with.

Some have been made with paper signatures, and others have been made of entirely of fabric.

You can check out the video below

One of the fabric journals is used to house my sample embroidery stitches, I can practice the stitch first and make a note about which one it is.  There is currently 50 embroidery stitches enclosed.  I would like to perfect these first and then go on to others.
