Take a Tour of a Handmade Art Journal

I created this handmade jump start watercolor journal as a book that I could paint on when I simply wanted to paint for relaxation. And I’m happy to report that this book is working perfectly to suit my needs.
The dimensions are approximately 4.5 inches by 6 inches.

Wendy, you are so inspiring to me! I love how you just roll with the moment. I am 69 and have always dabbled in almost every form of art. Your art just speaks to me. I love junk journals and am starting to really get into making them. I am currently involved in Wanderlust 2021 and am thrilled that you will be teaching in 2022!!! Thank you for inspiring me!!

Dot from UK Hello, I heard about you from Karen Elaine on You Tube, I'm so glad I looked you up. Your art journal is the best I've ever seen, it is so beautiful and inspiring. I sew and Gelli print alas I've never mastered water colour painting and goodness knows I've tried. I just wanted you to know your journal is fantastic. Lots of love from Dot in the UK.

love this! Do you stick the cloth to paper before sewing? the cloth looks to be a stiff form, so im thinking it was glued to something. Love the whole thing

If it was vintage. It would not have been done on a machine. My mom’s embroidery was impeccable you would not have been able to tell that it was hand done.
