Description:

For this swap you will create one art journal for one partner.

The journal must be at least 20 page spreads (that's 40 pages minumum). More is okay, less is not.

Size is sender's choice. Journal can be handmade or storebought and altered.

Use a variety of mediums (collage, ink, paint, etc). Please make sure pages dry separately (not glued together).

You can write in the journal as well but it should be mostly visual art. No blank pages, cover should be decorated as well and all pages should be fully decorated.

Beginners to the craft are welcome.

You must have at least a 4.95 rating for this swap. No 1s and no unexplained 3s.

The fun part here is that you should use as many "junk treasures" as possible, recycle candy wrappers and found objects and other unexpected items (clean only) and incorporate them into the journal pages. Of course you can use new art supplies as well but you should use as many recycled itmes as you can! :)

I am keeping this domestic to the USA only for postage reasons. Feel free to start an Intl version. :)

Have fun!

Can this journal be handmade or would you prefer store bought? Like a composition book or a moleskine?

Should it be a certain size?

This sounds like fun. Have you seen one some where? Is their a site we might check one out at?

@LindaRichards : The journal can be handmade or store bought and altered.

@Dakini55 : The size is open. Any size is fine.

@lovestosew : I haven't seen any specifically related to the recycled art theme but you can google "art journal" and see what they usually look like and then use your imagination to incorporate recycled random goodies into it. :)
