My art journal for Kara's Life Story Class.

My travel journals are made from recycled bookboard from discarded books, maps from out-of-date atlases, and reclaimed computer paper. Very ecofriendly!
After looking at some art journals online I noticed that people were using gesso as a foundation for their pages. I applied it to the right side of this spread and kind of liked the way it turned out. It blocked out the lines from the paper but it also made the pages kind of crunchy. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
On the left side I used some magazines strips, washi tape, and a water drop I carved.
On the right side I just stamped some thought bubble stamps that I carved over and over again. I filled some of the bubbles in but then I covered one up with blue washi tape in the top right corner because I didn't like the way that one turned out.
a day spent writing down and thinking about gifts... what a good way to change one's mindset. the simple comforts of home come to mind first, especially after camping.
My journal reclamation project continues. This is from 1985. I was eighteen years old and like most American teenagers I was preoccupied with religious philosophy. I was writing upside down on the even numbered pages of this volume because it was easier on my wrist. This book spent a couple weeks under water in 2005.
This is the second page in the doted half of my nbew journal, and the third picture. For this one I used pearlized watercolor washes in five colors, dried it with a hair dryer and then tangled with an 005 pen. There was absolutely no bleedthrough. It did buckle the paper a little, but when I was finished I just ironed it, and now it's flat again. Tangles used: Florz, Bales, Yincut, Tipple and Crescent Moon.
I wear a rustic, durable reclaimed brown leather coat, which has been treated with a special polish for added protection and a beautiful finish. On my cover I’m embellished with a delicious vintage key measuring 2 ¼ inches long, with the number ‘12’ etched onto it. This has been stitched into my coat with linen thread.
Open me up, and you’ll find I begin with a snippet of printed paper ephemera featuring an old postcard, which has been tea-stained & hand-torn to compliment my viscera.
To follow, you have 120 sheets (240 pages) of tea-stained 100% recycled paper for your thoughts which have been stitched into my coat with olive coloured linen thread akin to that on my cover. Hand-torn, my rustic pages are sure to inspire your creative side. When not in use, I’ll bundle up your words, pictures & things with my double leather wrap tie.
Measuring 4 ½ x 7 inches, I’ll fit into backpacks, drawers, satchels, panniers, and glove boxes.

Here's the front cover using print outs of images from the journal pages that will live inside it printed out on 90 lb watercolour paper and collaged on with acrylic gel. Fun to do!
Need supersonic hole punch... I only have ones for paper. Hmmm ... I wonder where I can find one? Maybe at a copy store?
Almost there...forgot to take pics along the way, having gotten lost in the process. The black stamping is a quote from Mary Oliver's poetry, as is the white lettering on the pic. I blended some yellow neoart crayon along the pics and through the middle, so they look a bit less like they were just plopped down on the page! I journaled using an Elmers' white paint pen marker, which writes over almost everything! The pics in the middle were added at a diagonal to carry the eye from upper left corner to lower right! Just a few more touches!
The latest instalment of the journal of my life with a talking anteater.
January has been a very busy month for Wilson, what with his trip to the Canary Islands; you can read about it at ISSUU:

Smith Journal volume two is about sifting through the info we're bombarded with and drilling down to get at the core of an idea, an opinion or a thing. Dave Eggers tells us about 10 things he loves and writer Christos Tsiolkas explains why Australians are damn lucky. We speak to dads and sons about working together, fall in love with a two-wheeled piece of junk, get stuck into Henry Rollins's bookshelf, investigate the vanishing art of pickpocketing, scratch our heads over sacred geometry, marvel at the weaponry of Cold War spies and appreciate the complexity of life's simple stuff: the miracle pig, the humble potato, the misunderstood handkerchief and the stately pinball. We interview inventors, explorers and economists, travel to Japan, go deep into the Bolivian mines and spend time at a quiet shack in New Zealand. That's just some of the gold to be found within the pages, we reckon it's a darn worthy read

Today's InTheSun prompt: SUMMER MOVIES
I tried that stretched out writing in the background listing summer movies then layered over it with tissue paper, stamping, stenciled "movies", some scrapbook paper and dripping acrylic paint. The dark gray squares are door screen.
