Jenny's Art Journals

 I am loving this new journal format! I started by painting and collaging 8 x 10 canvas board and bound them together with book cloth. The inside pages are a heavy weight watercolor paper that handles wet mediums so nicley.

 This pink journal has a tree made of paste paper and buttons. Tied onto the spine are wooden beads and some gorgeous fibers. I love the addition of the word "GROW" in a typewriter key style. This was added to cover up a mistake and it turned out to be an important part of the cover art.

  The front and back covers are quite different on this journal. The front says, "Energy Dancing" and "Ideas Flowing." On the back: "Time Flies" and "Time Stands Still." I am using this book in my weekly class as a "learning journal." I had all the students make one so we can experiment with different paiting and collaging tecniques.
