I am participating in my first circle journal with 12 other artists. I’m under a kind of ‘publication ban’ – lol – by the group because we want to keep our creations under wraps until we see them when they arrive at our homes. For the uninitiated (like I was ) we each make a journal ( cover and inside pages). We each decorate our own covers and the first double-page spread.
For my journal I chose to use 90 lb cold press watercolour paper for the cover, and 200 lb
warm press paper for
the actual pages. This paper is incredibly durable and I loved using it for this project.
I sealed the front cover with Mod Podge and Liquitex gel medium.
For the back inside cover I used decorative duct tape.
I am kind of sad sending my little journal off into the world and can’t wait to get it back (maybe in about 6 months) when all the participating artists will have decorated 2 pages each and my journal will be a work of art from around the world ( yes, this is a truly International, Trans-continental endeavour.).
Thank you for stopping by!

Decorables
Tonight on In the Zone, I showed the book I made, based on our weekly theme of ‘The Age of Aquarius’. I chose to write a story, including signs of the zodiac, a little boy, and lyrics from the song. Here are a few of the pages. I am in the process of converting the images into a video, with narration.
