I made a watercolor journal out of this kind of composition notebook. I glued three pages together for a more stable sheet then applied two thin layers of watercolor ground on both sides of the paper I glued together . Allow it to dry open for 24 hrs and it makes a great watercolor journal. I’m working on glueing watercolor paper in the same way to create another watercolor journal version.

I’m an artist (oil painter) & writer but I’ve started doing online classes, drawing, copperplate calligraphy, etc. Plus I’ve gotten into card making & scrapbooking. I figured this was my next little journey. I have a numerous amount of journals that I’ve received as gifts and wanted to use a couple as junk journals. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for sharing how you use a plain notebook and turn into your own journey of beauty.♥️ You are a very gifted artist. I wish you much creative blessings.

@@ScrappinDeeDee I have MS & was put out of work in ‘99. Over the years I’ve found that learning & staying busy has not only helped me mentally but also physically. However humor has played the biggest effect over my mental outlook. I could actually do a standup act just about MS. Anyway, unlike most all I have is my creative path to fill my days. I’m still a licensed hairdresser and was starting paperwork to be a stage artist for hair shows so being creative is in me to the core. And with ppl like you I learn more & more♥️

Hey there! Yes, I work from front to back - I think from working in it so much it lays flat when opened but when closed I didn't really use a lot of thick items. Mostly paper, paint, clippings, etc. That will help to keep it more flat when closed. Thank you for your lovely compliments! ❤ Hope you are doing well!💕Dee Dee

You dont explain how you make the pages. Do you acrylic paint over ONE line page? Or do you glue different paper on top of it?
@ScrappinDeeDee
@ScrappinDeeDee 12 күн бұрын
Hello! Some pages I used other paper depending on what medium I was creating with. If I used watercolor paint then I adhered watercolor paper over top of the line paper. Sometimes I used scrapbook printed paper and other times I glued two of the line pages together. If I used one page of the lined paper only sometimes I would use acrylic paint because the paint is thicker and covers better. I hope that helps and thank you for watching!💕

It looks like you glue pages together as you work instead of “prepping the journal like I’ve seen crafters do. Do you just glue two pages together or more than that. I want to start a journal but have been stalling. Do you tear pages out too? I have seen a lot of people do that but it doesn’t look like you do. I love your work and will now become a subscriber. Happy Holidays!

Hi there! Yes, I do glue two pages together but sometimes I do prep the pages singlely - it depends on what I'm going for. Some pages I will not prep and let the lines of the page show through if I watercolor or do a light wash with acrylics. No I never really tear the pages out. I like to make my journals thick so the more pages for me the better! Thank you so much for our kind words I really appreciate them and your subscribing! 💕 Thanks for watching and have the happiest of holidays to you and yours!😊
