This is my current journal and it is also made with misc scraps of paper from around my house.
It is hand sewn and the cardboard cover is salvaged from work trash.

from the visual journal that I've been working on, started on '09 and now continued. Most of the images in the 2022 section come from a French children's book on zoology, "Pour les tout Petits,Lectures sur les Animaux."
Another photo from my trip to Chengdu, China: games involving either cards or dice were very common sights. My hosts told me that compared to other large cities in China, the people of Chengdu were known for taking life a little bit more slowly and enjoyably.

I started with my art journal today! I'm going to try and do this on a daily basis. It was fun!!! Blogged here: www.creativeflutter.blogspot.com
Painted journal cover with previously loved paint brushes, clay wings, leather and fabric... and a particularly favored line from a Led Zepp tune.

Conrail shared assets local train SK-13 (doing leftover work from M-F job OI-14) is seen light engine westbound on the Waldo Running Track coming under Tonnelle Ave. They had just pulled a long cut of flats loaded with empty trash containers down toward end of track beneath Journal Square and have run around and are heading back toward the main. To the right are the PATH (Port Authority Trans Hudson) mainlines via the tunnels to Lower Manhattan.
The Waldo Running Track used to be a continuation of Conrails P&H (Passaic and Harsimus) Line. Prior to 1994 all north south trains to and from the River Line main passed this way and diverged north at CP WALDO (now gone). But now this trackage is just a dead end runaround that extends maybe a quarter mile behind me. It is used only by these locals that pull trash cars in here to run around and then shove back around past CSXT's South Kearney Yard and down the Central Avenue Industrial Track. Down at the end of that lead is the NJRC (New Jersey Rail Carriers) transfer point where containers of waste are loaded on to COFC flats for movement west on NS train 63V to Mingo Junction West Virginia for hand off to the Ohio Central railroad for final delivery to a land fill located off the old PRR Panhandle Line.
In days of old all of this was former Pennsylvania Railroad territory and until 1959 the PRR ran suburban trains to and from their Exchange Place station on trackage shared with the affiliated Hudson and Manhattan (today's PATH) thru here. The H&M opened the station here at Journal Square, then known as Summit Avenue in 1912 and the disused catenary poles and remains of the old electric infrastructure date from the PRR's 1930s electrification project. The weedgrown far tracks that the local occupies once led to PRR's Harsimus Cove freight terminals on the Jersey City waterfront.
If you'd like to read more here is a great story about operations in the North Jersey area during the Conrail era that explains some of the traffic patterns and routings I described: railfan.com/wiseguys-wayfreights-conrail-north-jersey/" rel="noreferrer nofollow

I made a journal from a book of A3 art paper that had unfinished ideas and scribbles into a six signature A4 journal. I collage quite heavily so it's great paper to reuse. First time binding. I did ok, I'm sure I'll get better.
A little idea for a series...
