Vintage Book Art Journal

Hello Crafters!

Wow!!! last night was sure a full house!!! and I sure missed being with you all.
for those that have missed the announcement we are doing a show every other tuesday so next tuesday there will not be a show plus it's CHA week which means I will be in Las Vegas taking a peek at all the new fabulous product that will be coming our way!
So last night I took an old encyclopedia and turned it in to an art journal with just a few easy steps.  Check out the video for the full class details but here is the photos of the cover and one of the inside pages we created live.  Thanks again for your continued amazing support!!

  4. Just amazing Limor! Your talent is phenomenal!! This is so original & stunning - you have such a cool, totally inimitable style all of your own!

  5. Love this Limor and I was wondering what to do to make the pages of a book more sturdy. I'm guessing you must have to rip out some pages as the embellishments make it thicker. You also answered my question on how to protect the cover of a book when using gesso. Thank you. I love the soft colors of this also. I've been scrapping for the Best Grandson Toddler in the World and find I'm leaning towards the blues but have been using some teal and turquoise also.

  7. I have just discovered you... and... Wow! Your work is Absolutely stunning! I am just starting to dabble in mixed media and preparing to create my first art journal. You are so inspiring! So detailed and informative especially for a beginner like me to have opportunity to watch. :) I will be viewing more of your videos and devouring your entire website. Thanks!!!
    PS In the video someone must have mentioned another ladies art journal because you said yes Diane Reed Lee''s journal was beautiful. I can't find that name in the search engines and I'd love to take a look at the journal y'all were talking about. :)

    1. Hi Shawnyrvr

      I think that the artist being referred to might be Dyan Reaveley (Dylan) - here is a link to her blog.

      Hope that helps..

  8. I watched your shows part 1 & 2 tonight on YouTube because my internet wasn't working properly earlier. I have always wanted to try gelatos because from what I see and keep hearing the colors are creamy, vivid and rich and they blend so beautifully. I would love to add these to my art stuff to use in my various projects
