I am getting excited about my new art journal, (this photo looks A4 but my new journal is A5). Actually, I am thinking of this one more as a visual journal. What is the difference? Less experimenting with techniques, more about my daily life.
I have started writing down ideas for different pages that I would like to create. I am thinking this journal will be more structured so that I can explore ideas rather than working intuitively like the last journal. Working intuitively was fantastic, I am just looking for a change.
Because I am working in a bound sketchbook, I will need to cut out pages. I am thinking it would be fun to save those cut out pages and sew them together into another, smaller journal.

I work in Moleskines a lot of the time and I don't cut any pages out (and believe me, I stuff them!)...I can't wait to see what you come up with and your pages as you do them.
Peace & Love,

this is exciting, zom... what size is A5? it'll be interesting to see what it's like working in a more structured way. i'll be watching. : )
xo
I did my first journal as a moleskin and also didn't cut pages. They have pretty good spines.
A5 is half of A4, tee hee.
15cm x 21.5cm. I think that is about 6" x 8.5".
i think i might get into my art journal too (it's been a while)... (Ps) RE: Your comment on my bloggy: i had a feeling this book might be close to your heart too Zom... i thought of you as soon as i began to read it... Can't wait to see these paintings... and Thankyou my lovely friend for those beautiful words <3
I can't wait to see what you do with this journal! I usually cut pages out of my journals to make more room. I use old books sometimes so the spine doesn't always hold up.
To answer your question: I use my typewriter sometimes instead of just writing on a journal page. I will type it up/cut it out/ and then glue it on a journal page. I love the "font" that the typewriter has!!
I hope you will post some of those journal pages Vicki. I am thinking of taking and using more photos. I just saw stories with your wonderful dolls.
Apple, I would love to get a typewriter for just that reason. I tried it with a typewriter font on the computer, not the same. No dents, ha ha.
Spill....spray and splash the blank pages and the world will be open to your personal mind's verse and narratives. I love journals and now I do have to divide my time with my artist friends on the computer and my personal songs in my continuing verses and sketches in my own handwriting and collage. I love the feel of the pencil in my hand and the kinetic energy of the lead healing the pages. Enjoy your passage in time because with a bound journal you can return to them over and over again. They are very special children who do not leave home. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
