Your color usage is spectacular. Subtle and yet vibrant when needed. . Each page layout could easily be individual paintings on the wall. Really thank you for sharing. your work. Would love to see your book altering process. Plus your use of simple classical music and no dialogue suits the journal so well.

Si le comprends bien, vous utilisez l'art journal de quelqu'un pour le réutiliser a votre goût ?
@karenmichelАй бұрын
Yes, it is an art journal that I have been working in for over 20 years! I keep parts I like and cover the rest. One day it will be finished lol.
@rikadehombreux4573Ай бұрын
Beautiful. Were you using a previous art journal for your images? Just curious. 💖🙏💖😊
@karenmichelАй бұрын
Yes 😊 I deconstructed a smaller art journal with a size format I wasn't feeling anymore. Like a home made collage book, lol.
@rikadehombreux4573Ай бұрын
@@karenmichel Wonderful. I thought you might have made a collage book for the purpose. It seems nice to flip through the book so you get an overview of your images. I’m wondering if I could make a book on thin paper and only stick the images on one side. Love it 💖🙏💖😊

Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing. I love the fact that you reused your older work as a basis for building new work. Just like the old masters! Also, i love the fact that your pages are a little more minimalistic. They are beautiful! That gives me hope as I struggle along my collage journey. Have a fabulous day!

Is this safe? Does the plastic release any fumes when heated?

As long as you keep the heat low- It fuses at a surprisingly low temperature. If there's toxic smoke the temperature is too high lol.
