Material Musings - Fabric Books

Join me for Material Musings this week. Here are an additional 3 fabric art journals that I have been playing with. It is always nice to revisit previous journals. I did some painting in a couple and plan to do some stitching and maybe add beading.

Here are the three fabric art journals that I work on, made from recycled materials.

You will also see a page in progress and ways that you can add stenciling to a page. I will be spending a bit more time on the pages and adding some additional embellishments.

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

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.

Material Musings - Fabric Art Projects

Welcome to today's Material Musings, I am excited to share what I have been working on and learning in my fabric adventure.

I will be sharing some of the fabric art journals that I have been creating and I have made a couple that have been helping me keep my smaller projects and fabric ephemera in some order.

I also finished this fabric dragonfly inspired by a class on Making Zen by Lisa Goddard You can check her out on Instagram Here

I hope you enjoy the video and check out some of the projects, and get to create some fabric journals of your own.
