New Season of Get Messy Artjournal is coming in a couple days. I thought I'd make a little watercolor journal for this season. I didn't find a book with pictures to alter so I made my own!
I took some watercolor sheets.
Folded them.
Looked for some fun cover.
I found those two postcards from a cool jewelry shop in NYC.
Covered them with gesso.
Then I played a bit with texture paste.
And let them dry.
I made holes in the watercolor paper for the bidning.
Got a piece of cloth.
I glued it into the covers. I also played a bit with beads because it took ages for the texture paste to dry!
Then I bound my paper signature with the cover. And here's a little journal!
Not sure which cover is going to be the front!

Lovely! Did you put the thread of the binding through the beads too?
ReplyDeleteThank you!Yes I put the thread through everything together, signature+cloth+beads. You can't really see it because it's black too. But it's there! :)
DeleteVery nice. Just a few pages?
ReplyDeleteThank you! Only 6 pages .. I'll see how it works for 6 weeks of Getmessy prompts!
