A perfect way to merge two of my favorite art forms, painting and fabric, is to create a personal journal.
These art books are really quite fun to make! The covers were created using colorful fabric, vintage lace and trim, buttons, paint and photographs. Thick book board was used for the foundation of the cover's front and back.
Collage, stitching, gesso and painting were the various techniques that were used in the creating of these books.
Inside there can be any number of pages, which is where the journaling will happen. I use light weight watercolor paper or drawing paper for the pages. I also used various types of binding techniques to secure my books together.
