A few weeks ago I found myself being fascinated by a stack of beautiful papers that someone, somewhere here on the internet (don't remember where) shared. I was able to trace the origin of the technique, by which they were made, back to the artist
LK Ludwig. Soon I was enrolled in her online class Backlog.
I'm rather late on the ball because the class was introduced in 2010. But I must say it was well worth the money, it is full of information, videos and inspiration.
Take a look at what I have done:
 |
Black and light blue and reductive stamping |
 |
Tiger pattern stencil |
I used some old sheets of sketching paper and some of the acrylic paint I have lying around.
 |
Stack of painted papers |
I folded each sheet in half and used two papers to make one signature. In total I made six signatures which makes 24 pages.
The class teaches a way to bind them toghether using ribbons, and here's how mine ended up.
 |
Stiching the book |
I made the covers out of chipboard which was painted the same way as the pages.
 |
With cover |
Here is a peek in the book.
 |
Some of the pages |
I will use the book for art journaling with my own photos. I have begun to add pictures to it and I also made a page.

Before journaling |
And after adding hand writing.
