More art journal pics.....

 ....added in some Bellagio tissue paper from my Las Vegas trip in 2007!!

 And then some Klimt-ish gilt work for the Royal Academy ticket pages....

And some gold paper from Meert pattiserie in Lille, France!

My sketchbook art journal so far...

 this is one of a series of books I've made with Khadi paper pulp as the sheets.  (the others are on my etsy shop).  This is what I've done so far....

 that little piece of plastic that the pen is sitting on ...... soap wrapper from a mini soap at the Lille hotel I stayed in last March, bound into the book!!!

 You can sew fabric into pulp paper as well, holds up really well.

Making things......

 We made a book out of corrugated cardboard covered in onion paper on the outside...

 ...using bakers twine and the coptic binding method....

..... and brown wrapping paper on the inside covers....

..... and more brown paper from inside an Amazon box for the pages....

That's the back cover...

We made paper!!!

A couple of weeks ago, Andrea bought some red printing ink and we made loads of lino prints onto tissue paper!!!  We made red flowery ones and red fishy ones and red stars that we coloured in with gold and silver ink!!!  They're hanging up drying now!!
