::mini handmade art journal for quick spreads::

Last year or so, I made a handful of mini art journals. I basically took some blank cardstock notecards, cut out some "pages" from various papers, and used a sewing machine to sew the pages into the card for binding. Then I reinforced the binding with fabric craft tape. I'll try to find some photos of the binding later. For now, the collage I created above, illustrates most of my art journal spreads I've made in this little book.

It's not necessarily a glue book because I do more than that in it. But it is a good way to get a quick spread done when you feel the strong urge to art journal/create and you're short on time. It's pretty consistent with my style in my larger art journals. I love playing around with different processes in this little book too because there's less self-imposed pressure to fill up a big ol' page.
