@claudycarina1 Yes an old book. Click on my channel name and you will find a video for how I prep the old book to use it as my art journal. Thank you!

This is a fabulous page! With each layer I was thinking, no, don't do it, it's perfect as it is but you knew better and the end result is just wow! Thanks for sharing

[GulfSpr1te]

Thanks. Yes, I say the same thing when I see other artists creating. And yet each addition seems to fit as if the artist were somehow connected to something only they could follow.

Thank you so much for sharing! I never thought to incorporate my old sketches into art journal projects, but it makes perfect sense. What a way to make the work of an afternoon or hour into an heirloom or an affirmation of self. :) Fabulous!

That is such a great idea! I'm only just starting out using old books for art journaling and my first one I just glued the pages together, leaving them thick and stiff and hardly workable. Tearing them out but leaving a strip of paper still in sounds like the way to go!

I forgot to add that I leave a quarter inch of the torn out pages in so that the spine will not come apart.

The torn out pages then become collage items too which is like a bonus.
