Hello, paperjournals!

[snowsurrounded]

Okay, so in the spirit of things like the Community Participation Meme and Three Weeks For Dreamwidth, I'm going to try to kickstart this comm a bit. Wondering if people would be interested in things like weekly themes or challenges, or anything like that?

Anyway, here's some pictures from my not-very-artistic journal.



The actual journal. It's sort of tiny, smaller than A5 size I think.


er. I may have been feeling a bit moodswingy that day.


I don't know why, but I really like this page. The text is from chopping up an Ancient Greek textbook, which was kind of cathartic. (I hated learning Greek.)


POINTLESS DOODLING FTW.

This post was the tipping point that made me join this community <3 I love the textures you add to each page. Which brings me to the question: What type of paper/texture/textured paper did you use in the third image?? It looks really cool :D I'm dabbling in making journals (bookbinding, making covers, etc.), and I think whatever you used would make an interesting cover.

Wow, thankyou! <3

I think the third page is... ripped-up magazine pages glued down, then a couple of layers of gouache paint over them? I love gouache. I've been messing around a lot lately with different textures and colour effects - so glad someone liked it!
