I had seen people do gluebooks on the internet and liked the idea as a lower stress way to do art journaling - I know I could do collage only pages in a regular book, but I get hung up on “wasting” the good mixed media paper. :confused: I started with a comic book from Free Comic day at a game shop and just went for it.

The cover:

I did end up having to take some pages out towards the back to keep it from getting ridiculously gator-mouthed.

Overall, I’m pretty happy with it, and would definitely consider making another one if the mood strikes!

A glue book is how I got started in art journals!
Looks fun! A comic book is a good idea, nice sized pages and not too thick.
