Description:

This is the 2nd swap in the group for a Mini Art Journal.

What you will need is a journal or notebook with at least 40 pages. You can also make individual pages and bind them together at the end to create your own book. Minimum page size is 10cm x 6.5cm which is the size of a Moleskine Volant Extra Small. You could also use a Moleskine Volant/Cahier pocket which measure 13.5 x 9cm. You don't have to use a Moleskine journal, these are examples that are available internationally and online for those without good stationery shops local to them. You don't have to use both sides of the paper, as this is not always possible with painting/bleed through from markers, as long as you have 40 pages. You may, of course, have more pages.

You are free to fill the book in any way you choose, but variety is the spice of life so try to use different mediums in your journal. You can paint, collage, stick photo's in, alter existing pictures, use fancy lettering or doodle your pants off. Just make it gorgeous for your partner so that they have something to treasure.

To join this swap you must have a minimum of 20 swaps, 10 of which must be Type 3 craft/package swaps and absolutely no 1's or recent 3's. The reason for raising the bar is the high amount of missing journals and late sends in my other art journal group. This group aims to be a safe place to swap, where everyone that sends a journal receives a journal. If you don't have this criteria you can always advertise in the forum thread to do this swap privately.

If I did want to make individual pages and then bind them together can I use 20 sheets and using BOTH sides count each sheet as two pages then when bound together it would add up to 40 pages total (FRONT and BACK)? Thanks.

Yes! As long as you have 40 sides, it's totally up to you how you do it. I like a more creative option LOL

Great! And a measurement conversion to inches would be appprox. 2.5" x 4"?

Okay.. I've just made a bunch of the mini journals.. and they are
3" x 4"..... Does that sound okay?

snowqueen1426 04/29/2010 #
