For January, the Art Challenge at Art Journal Journey is: Use a Photo. I took a photo of a hand-made canvas journal cover I put together last year. I love the journal, and the cover graphic turned out really well, I thought. So it's not only a photo, but a photo of a photographer on the cover of a journal! And I added an old camera in the corner, a theme within the theme?
The journal has three signatures and the pages are made from magazine spreads, different kinds of plain and tea-dyed papers, half pages, pages of different shapes, etc. Most are decorated and embellished with pockets, envelopes, tags, and other kinds of ephemera. There's even a piece of canvas in the center of the middle signature upon which I printed a photo spread of the front of my house.
It's my favorite journal; I've had it for a year now, but so far I haven't wanted to actually journal in it... I just love looking at it.
Thanks for stopping by. Until next time...
