Creating First Layers in a Repurposed Book

This video demonstrates how I turn books into art journals with the distinct purpose of collaborating with the page.
Books used in this tutorial:
*Colors by Anne Varichon
*Madame Butterfly by Benjamin Lacombe (Italian version)
*Van Gogh by George Roddam (Italian version)
*Painting the Feminine Art Journal by Connie Solera

I like the tip to use a book without shiny pages! Yes a flip through your work so far in the Colors book journal, please. Thanks

Hi Christy…thanks for watching my tutorial and I’ll certainly do a flip through of the Painting the Feminine art journal. The Colors book/journal was a learning experience for me…I worked in it about 7 years ago & it was my first time working in this format so I covered up almost all of the pages instead of letting parts show through 😅

PS yes the glossy pages make it harder to work on

Thank you for the tips on using an existing book and thoughts on them. It's something I've been considering trying for a while. I would certainly like to see a flip through of what you've done in Connie Salero's book.

Hi Lisa…you’re welcome and I hope you try out this idea; it’s a magical experience and it will really stretch your creativity muscles! I will definitely make a video of a flip through for the art journal by Connie Solera! Happy creating 🥰
