This still remains my favourite journal. A very messy journal that I had immense fun making. It comprises of mostly scrap paper that I used to wipe excess amounts of paint off from working on art journal pages or canvases.

After months of accumulating a stack of randomly messy painted papers, I decided to turn them into art works and added a variety of stencil patterns. Then finished it off with a selection of tags and sewn in bits of fabric and lace.

At the end of this messy enjoyable painted process, four signatures were created and bound into an old vintage book, where I’d removed the internal pages, kept the cover and decorated it with paint and stencils.

Majority of the stencils used in this project were a selection from my favourite stencil range StencilGirl Products.
