This is my art journal. It's a red hardcover Moleskine sketchbook that I got from Amazon for $18.83. So far I have done 14 art journal pages and I plan on making blog posts about them all.
A lot of art journal page ideas I got from Vicky Papaioannou from youtube.com. Later on in my art journal I started thinking of my own ideas.
This is my first art journal page that I made on 8/25/16 and I got the idea from Vicky Papaioannou.
The two pages you see are really four pages. The 1st and 4th pages I made piano keys along the edge (both hand drawn and with cut paper). These are glued to the backs of pages 2 and 3 that have a ripped upper and lower edge (but I didn't glue them down until the end, you'll see why).
I ripped about half an inch on the top and bottom of pages 2 and 3 and then I used gel medium to glue down pieces of Tim Holtz tissue paper here and there (the tissue paper has small music notes on it. The paper is called Melange). Then I used a blue gelato to color the background and yellow green and brown gelatos to darken the edges to make it look old and worn.
I used whipped Spackle and Tim Holtz dot fade layering stencil to add some interest and depth to the page (that's the little white dots that stick out like 3D). I cut out pieces of paper to make a guitar and I painted the neck and body brown and the hole and the bridge black. I had to cut the top and bottom of the guitar to fit the page. After glueing the guitar down, I pocked holes through the bridge (through the guitar and page 2) and I cut slits at the top. I threaded white thread through the holes and in the slots and I just taped the strings to the back of page 2.
Then I used gel medium to glue page 1 to the back of page 2 and page 4 to the back of page 3. I added the quote which is "Music is What Feelings Sound Like". Then I added white highlights and the date. You can go to Vicky Papaioannou's YouTube channel to see the tutorial.
