Monochromatic Journal Page in a Vintage Book
Create an art spread in a vintage journal!
I'm so excited to share with you a little insight into my latest creative adventure. I recently stumbled upon a charming little journal at an antique store, and I was instantly drawn to its rustic charm. The size of this journal is just perfect for me - it's small enough to be pocket-sized, yet spacious enough to let my creativity flow.

I've always found joy in infusing new life into old things, and this journal is no exception. I carefully removed some of the pages to make room for my mixed media creations, ensuring that the end result wouldn't be too bulky or unwieldy. I also added a touch of reinforcement by stitching the cover myself, giving it a bespoke feel. This little gem has become my go-to warm-up journal, allowing me to embark on artistic journeys in under 10 minutes.
