Paint Paper Paste

Collage Art Journal Project

***

I've started working on a few pages in the journal.

The paper is Fabriano

90g

multicolored

192 plain pages

***

When I was thinking about starting this project, 

I wanted to use art materials that I already had available.

That is what lead me to using 

a sketch book I had on my book shelf.

The paper is made of good quality

and

has texture, which gives it a bit of tooth.

I did notice...

it is fairly thin paper

and does wrinkle with wet media.

This does become a bit of a challenge,

but

I will work through it since I will

be using the pages for collage as the main platform.

This should be interesting!

The one thing I do love about this journal is the size.

An 6" x 8", 

which makes is comfortable to carry

and 

 just the right amount of space to play with!

I have a feeling the art journal is going to become bulky...

I am okay with that, so far.

As I get towards the back of the journal...

things could get interesting!
