I made this journal using Girl Scout music and dance instructions from the 1950's. I used coptic binding so the book opens flat & to 360 degrees.
I sold this book to a person in Mississippi.
The journal measures 5 1/2 X 4 inches and is 3/4 inch thick. The book contains deckled-edge pages in ivory, white, vintage imperial graph & metric graph. 100 pages in total.
Totally uninspired for today's prompt so the collage doesn't really pertain to it. I also was working on my Summer of Color project featuring brown (of all things), so this is a combo of both prompts.
I used a kraft paper wrapping paper as the base, made it larger than the book and folded it over to make the flap on the right. The journaling is hidden under there and says: "I never had a lemonade stand but loved drinking koolaid. My adult summer drink of choice is Long Island Ice Tea."

This piece became the cover for my first journal where I documented all the weaving and braiding techniques I had learned in South America.

I'm new to the whole idea of art journaling, but must say how much I love it! there is so much more to learn and experiment with.

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
This is a visual journal I'm making as I work through the book "Your Heart's Desire" by Sonia Choquette. I've decided to work differently than I usually do--I'm "prepping" the pages before I do the journaling instead of doing it all at the same time.
Based on a project I saw on Pinterest. Moleskine-type journals covered with washi tape. The inside of each cover is overlaid with colorful paper, to cover up the tape ends and make the book more interesting.
Saw this idea on Pinterest.... Add masking tape to page and draw/doodle all around it and over it. Remove masking tape and you'll have a place to write.... Did this over breakfast this morning.
This is the first art journal book, or any book for that matter, that I have ever created. I was inspired by all the creative folks in Cathy Johnson's Artist Journal class. I have always wanted to do something like this but never had the confidence before. . . so thank you, to all my fellow class members, who have inspired me!
I used two full sheets of artists watercolor paper (not sure of the brand) cut and stitched into two signatures. Then I made a cover using some left over card stock and some scrap leather that I picked up at a Mountain Man event last weekend. The inside covers are made from a used gift bag that had a pretty print. And I finished it with a sand dollar just because! Not the most perfect book, but it is made by me, for me, and I think I LIKE it! (Sorry the photo didn't turn out better...)
Internal pages of my travel journals. Hand drawn map of Boston in the front and small New York map at the back.
Two examples of double A5 pages from my personal journal, showing how I work out ideas and colour schemes for my work.
Another journal which is a hybrid between coptic stitch and explosed stitching over 'tape' (in this case, Tyvek strips sponged with Staz-On ink). The cover is (mostly) Tyvek, as is the stamped panel. The inner covers and the panel background are 150gsm Canford paper, and the sewing thread is #20 crochet cotton.
This journal has 9 signatures, each with 5 sheets of 85gsm A4 short-grain book paper (copy paper weight), and the whole book is 6.1" by 8.5" by 0.7" (15.5cm by 21.5cm by 1.7cm).
Travel journals 10"x10" (about 26x26 cm), 120 pages each.
Bound in full "hand-modeled" leather with feathered leather and colored hot printing decoration.
Endpapers hand-colored in "spatolato" style with calligraphic quote on the front endpaper.
The inspiration for this decoration comes from the idea that a travel journal can represent a sort of map, so there’s the idea to recall the mountains, the woods and the lakes as they are represented on the maps.
Endpapers are decorated in a “spatolato” style with the same colours of the cover, as if that elements becomes just lines and vibrations inside the journal, as the places becomes memories in the writing. On the front endpaper is written into a calligraphic decoration a quote by Herman Melville: “It is not down in any map; true places never are”.
