Art Journal Tutorial

I love books. Art books, story books, fact books and all forms of books. Last year I found a great two part tutorial by TRANSiENTART on youtube. I made 3 art journals using it. My best one that I made for a friend I sadly don't have any photos of. It was a hand sewn patchwork leather bound book with a metallic Celtic symbol painted on the front. The photos I do have here are of one of the very first ones I made, and admittedly not my best. But I wanted to include it because it's not perfect. The glue is visible, there are wrinkles in the inner cover and truth be told there was a lot of trimming to get the pages even. BUT I'm still happy with it because it was a new experience with crafting something I love (and it's The Cat in the Hat (c)Dr. Seuss) and I wanted to share this learning experience with you!
