Welcome, today's Art Journal was made from an old A5 telephone directory, and there are three that you will see made in slightly different ways over the next few days.
Art Journals as I have said can take many shapes and forms and the only thing that will stop you is your imagination. You can go from really complete to ultra simple
The pages to this directory were stuck together, gesso was added and then the pages were embellished with textures and lots of other vintage materials.
This is a great way to experiment with ideas and take it as far as you wish. You can see further how they were made HERE
See if you have got any directories laying around and use them to create an art journal. You can always if you wish practice with the different materials in the journal, and you can try and manipulate the pages.
Thank you for checking out this journal, check out the video and let me know what you think.
This particular Art Journal has been created from recycled fabric combined with paper to give you a firm surface to work on. Some of the fabric is recycled school uniform, so those who have lots of fabric around you can create an art journal.
I experimented with stitching. Usually the pages were stitched on one side and then I created an image on the other side.
I do a lot of faces in my journals and their surroundings, and expression often says so much more than you can say with words.
Working with fabric Journals you can use a variety of material, and they each have different properties and take paint differently so it is worth playing around and experimenting.
Using recycled materials definitely helps the environment and gives the fabric and new lease of life!

Remember the Art Journal is for you to do with as you choose and is a great way to work through things that you cannot put into words. I hope you enjoyed looking at some of the pages in this journal.
Welcome to today's Art Journal, part of the 31 Art Journal Series.
This Journal is made from an altered children's book, and has you can see the hard back books come in all shapes and sizes and are great for altering. It has a lovely chunky feel and was a great surface to work with.
I did this Art Jounal as part of the Soul Restoration course with Melody Ross and Brave Girls.
Another great course that really got you reflecting on your life and direction and helped you to see what were not only the limiting believes that you held but also how we stopped ourselves from doing those things which edified and nourished.
what was then called for was a total overhaul and restoration.
The pages were sanded down and gesso added prior to completing the exercises that we were given.
You are responsible for the things you allow to remain in your life and you have a choice in the decisions you need to make no matter how small - each step leads to growth.
Do check out the video where I give you a flip through and more in-depth look at the pages.
