Book for my 27th, art/glue journal book scans, first ‘commisson’
Special thanks to someone (actually several who suggested it) and this video here, I made my first ever hand bound book!
I used a composition notebook from Wal mart that was $2 something and bought a pack of file folders for $2 something. I had the waxed cord stuff. So the project cost me about $5ish and some fun time. I’ll probably cover it when I’m done. It’s the book I’ll be using for my 27th birthday project (I ended up liking the book idea best). It has enough pages so I can do 27 spreads plus one to grow on ;-)
In the 2nd shot there you’ll see the fun looking edge of my artglue journal book thing. FUN!
I already attacked it with my NEW LIQUITEX GESSO! Yay! I was getting low on my Bob Ross gesso. So we went to the art store today, which was a treat, along with the Moo latte. It was cheaper than the Bob Ross, it doesn’t smell, its smoother and I think it spreads further? The gesso, not the moo latte lol.
And, in no particular order, some pages in my art journal that have been floating around for the last week or whatever. Of course I don’t think any of them are done.
This page I actually showed in an earlier post, but it was only the background before:
No, I didn’t trace my own hands:
What would you drown yourself in?:

Last and most certainly least, something I’m doing for the Grants Pass Ambassadors…. it’s based off the (perfect) mascot for Grants Pass. They’re going to use this image on their pins for this year’s state Chamber convention. It’s actually a really fun thing… every city has a newly designed pin every year, all the ambassadors from all over the states come trade pins whilst partying. Seriously, it is one big party. Especially Friday nights :) But there’s also tons of networking and workshops and getting to know the area of wherever the convention is taking place. So, wiithout too much more rambling:
…. yes I know, if I had a day job, I wouldn’t quit it :-p
I made some more earrings, last night I think, but was too lazy to round them up to take pics.
