I really like this website! She loves to make Art out of Junk...thus the name ArtJunk. I love art journals, and I love the idea of just using a plain old comp book. I have also been working on one of these using an unreadable book.

Use what you have, re-use something, recycle...don't buy anything!! Save money and the environment at the same time!

Then I use gesso to prepare the page. Gesso is like white paint primer. You can find in painting isle. It helps give page some body and prevents paint from soaking in. Please note though that you will not have "perfect" results in a composition book. There will still be some wrinkling, buckling, but I assure you they are fun to work in and great as a art journal!</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5;
