Idea of the day
Tonight is Session Four of a six-week art journaling class that I am teaching through our local community adult school. Now that students are full of drawing ideas they need to start making their own books. We're starting with a simple accordion folded journal with fabric covering. It can be made any size, but mine are 6" tall and 8" wide (when closed) and include 15 workable pages.
That brings me to the next point. Surely I can complete 15 pages in any month, even a busy one. So.... why don't I start binding one every month, dedicate it to October or whatever, and fill it? At the end of one year I would have a stack of 12 completed books, each thematically bound, each one full of pages I'm truly proud of. It would mean I would work harder on each page, maybe even take two days for each one, but in the end I would be oh, so pleased!
It's lovely! nancy

ReplyDeleteFabulous book and fabulous idea! I think even I could fill fifteen pages in one month!
