This quick summer journal is constructed from one piece of Fabriano Artistico 140 LB hot press watercolor paper.  The journal I designed for this workshop is digitally printed. A painted and collage journal is also depicted.  Both journals are the same as far as the sizes of the base paper.  They both are held together with colored wire in one signature.  You can make this journal as large as you like.  All you have to do is use additional pieces of watercolor paper.  The painted one is made from 2 sheets and is still in one signature.  You may want to add signatures and a cover if you use additional pages.

Mixed Surfaces Journal Part 3 Mini Workshop

This month Mixed Surfaces Journal concludes with part 3.  This video part of the workshop instruction develops the assembling of the elements from the first 2 workshops.  Two journals are constructed showing various ideas on accomplishing that task.  You will get a variety of ideas on how to create and add your mixed surfaces into a journal format.  Of course there are infinite ways to add your own ideas of what you would like from your personal journal.  Use the ideas presented and make up some of your own.

Members log in then go to to tutorials  to download your free mini workshop.

Finish Your Journal-Assembling Pages

Seems I am always making journals.  Whether it is for a workshop or just because I get the urge, there are journals and journal pieces all over my studio.  

Once the covers and pages are complete, they need to be assembled.

This mini video workshop covers attaching your pages when 

you have finished all the elements to your journal.

Most of my journals are collaged before pages are attached.  In the demo journal for the video the pages are freshly cut and white.  After I finished the video, I went back with dyes mixed with water and brushed dye over the pages.  You can see that in the section pictured with the title at the top of this post.  

  My preference is to work intuitively and let the

materials and pieces determine how they all end up.

My journal construction follows this course.   In the video, I show you a few journals that have been assembled, what they look like when finished and different beaded backs.  The journal below is the one I assemble for the workshop.

This workshop is free to members, so if you are a member be sure to sign in before adding the workshop to your cart.

Non-members go to KathyAnne Art to purchase the workshop for $9.95.
