I found a book called
Creating Art at the Speed of Life: 30 Days of Mixed-Media Exploration by
and it looked interesting. I brought it home and decided to try it. This is the cover for the journal done with watercolor crayons, water, markers and a little masking fluid on heavy adhesive canvas. This will be attached on the outside as a cover for the home made journal.
Cover for Handmade Art Journal |
The cover was painted on adhesive canvas pictured above. After sewing the blank pages for the journal together, I just peeled the back off the back of the canvas and stuck it on like a book cover. The result is below. I loved how easy using the adhesive canvas made this.
