Fabric Covered Art Journal

The Saturday Workout Challenge was perfect this week, because it was something I needed to do anyways. Fabric Art. I had bought a little picture/scrap book thing that was falling apart and on sale for like $1 at Tuesday Mornings. It was covered in some ugly fabric and it was kinda falling apart. So, I bought it with the intent to recover it and decorate it.

This week I also got interested in a Soul Journaling on-line group that my friend Emily told me about, so I thought this would be the perfect thing to use for that as well.

I used Golden's digital grounds on the fabric, let it dry and then printed a few things on the fabric and stamped a few things on. I had some fabric markers and so I colored in a few things.. and then I used alcohol inks in mini misters and just played with it. After it was all dry, I glued the fabric to the book (I had already removed the old fabric). Then I used black duct tape to re-inforce the "binding" area where the book folds, and put some black and white ribbon on top of parts of the tape... Now, I just have to sit down and do the actual journaling!

SO, here is my first ever fabric project, and my first ever art journal: (I do think it looks much better in person than in these pictures)

If you haven't done so already, check out my giveaway in my previous post.

Peace & Love-
