Eco-Printed Canvas Soft-Cover Junk Journal/Start-to-Finish

2 жыл бұрынI was invited by Peggy from @thepaperbumblebee, along with 3 other junk journal creators, to create a journal cover from a white canvas. This is what I came up with.

You are so beautiful and talented. Thank you for sharing both the ups and downs of putting this journal together. I love that you show us your mistakes and how to fix them. The journal is lovely and you can tell a lot of work went into making the papers. Thank you Barbara. 😘

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I appreciate the walk-through steps. I'm not at a point where I could attempt this process, but I fully appreciate it. You make me chuckle when you encounter creative mishaps. The way you embrace them and venture forward allows me to see the fluidness in the creative process. Loved the way this project turned out.

Such a gorgeous journal cover, Barbara. Love the use of everyday ‘things’ (leaves, flowers and onion skins) to provide the colour and design - AMAZING!!! Look forward to your next fantastic challenge which you take part in. Thank you, again. 🙂

I love this journal! The calmness and naturalness of it is so pleasing. I, too, like “empty” journals and can’t wait to see how you fill this one. I know why you’re so excited about your closure-it’s your own idea and worked perfectly! Your eco-dyeing turned out so well, too. I hope you are very please with this journal because you certainly should be!

The plastic side is gesso. Artists canvas is made of heavy duty cotton and on one side is gesso. This is the side an artist will paint on. You have used the back of an artists canvas. If you want to do this again in the future you could buy a cheap canvas from your dollar store, or art shop, and take the canvas off the wooden frame. :)

Morning Barbara, another fabulouso journal, it is so beautiful. The eco dying is really amazing, something I plan on tryout soon-soon. The closure is sooooo elegant, doesn't take away from the beautiful cover at all, Thank you for sharing with us and for inspiring us to try something completely out of our "boxes". Blessings and hugs as always from Cape Town. Diana

Another beautiful journal come to life from just a plain canvas. You never cease to amaze me. I love that you mixed your coffee, dying and eco dying techniques into this one journal, they seem intentional. I'm wondering if it wouldn't have been easier to sew the ribbon to the strip before gluing it to the spine. 🤔 But maybe wouldn't have been as stable. 😘 Beautiful job though. 👏 🥰

This is absolutely an amazing journal! The canvas cover is just perfect for a botanical or garden journal. I have not made any eco prints but using this method, but I love the results. I can see a trip to the fabric shop for some canvas in various weights, and to the bulk food store for alum . Thanks for sharing this. So beautiful!

I LOVE this journal and the closer and covers are lovely. Way to go! It is gorgeous. Regarding the rinsing, you want to rinse the alum off, or the colors will overdye and won't be waterproof. Also, the color you see on a stick, leaf, or flower can be different after the chemical reaction with the other ingredients😁. And, a dry stick or leaf can have a different reaction than a fresh one. SO MUCH FUN!!! I wish I was there with you playing!

I love all the eco prints you created especially the onion skins. I'm so glad you went with the image for your journal cover. it's absolutely stunning. I want to personally thank you for bringing so much joy to my week with your videos they are so inspirational and I love the way you solve the problem with things don't always turn out the way you want. You are one of my favourite creative KZfaq mentors because you inspire me to become better and more expressive in my own creative journey.

The plasticky side is actually gesso or paint. Most canvases for painting are already primed with one or the other. I love how the coloring turned out. I will be making a journal from a canvas that I did a paint pour on. Crossing my fingers it turns out. Baking soda (soda bicarbonate) also helps color from plants dye more vibrantly. Come summer I will have to try out some papers with flowers and leaves like you did. I love it. And, I love how your journal turned out ☺♥

I really like that you show your mistakes and how you remedy them. I am sure we all must have sewn our signatures in the wrong way but it is comforting to know you do it too! 😂 This journal is beautiful. As far as eco dyeing goes I also watch a lady called Kelly from Book and Paper Arts and she has a playlist in her videos about eco printing on and has fabulous results, if you don’t already know her she is worth checking out.

Usually canvas is made of fabric with a layer of gesso. The gesso side is for coloring as it keeps the color from seeping through.

I am watching this tutorial on my TV. I had a laugh about mistakes when being creative. Years ago my hubby was a scenic artist for theatre musical " My Fair Lady". Hours before opening night the director calls to Greig and points to the sign for the pub, Liza's father sings his big song- the director asks Greig to look-. And then he realized he had written the on the sign Pubic House instead of Public House.
