This is a 6 x 6 inch journal made from a Trader Joe's Shu Mai box, painted white then decoupaged with a decorative napkin.
These journals are "Anything Goes" or "Stash-Mash-ups".
Over the last 2+ years I've been at this junk journaling thing, I've amassed an extensive amount of hand made ephemera fueled by my daily YouTube tutorial binging including a lot of unfinished pieces.
My decorating scheme is bust through that stash. However, after a 4 month hiatus from the craft stores, I went on a little spree last week and bought a couple of flower punches. I love them! ...so I made several more bits to stick in the journals.
I've had this Daiso yellow craft paper forever.
Daiso origami paper
Coffee dyed envelope pockets.
This is a page from National Geographic. It's something under a microscope.
Lots of little collages...
Decoupaged napkins...
I use a lot of museum quarterly brochures and Edible magazine pages because I like the matte surfaces , the paper weight and the images. The text is great to paint or collage over.
I love making little collages
Although the cover may suggest this is a garden themed journal, it clearly is not.
Your journals are always mesmerising to look at. Every page is full of surprises. They bring out a child-like delight in me - I think of those stories where kids find a book with secrets inside. Not sure kids these days would be delighted with something as simple? Maybe, hopefully some still would!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jem! As much as I try to refrain from over decorating, the blank page always beckons some kind of attention.
DeleteAs reported by Stanford Medical, It's in fact the SINGLE reason this country's women live 10 years more and weigh on average 19 KG less than us.
ReplyDelete(Just so you know, it is not related to genetics or some secret diet and EVERYTHING around "HOW" they are eating.)
BTW, What I said is "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
