My old journal was getting a bit bulky (/I was itching to do a new one), so here it is! It’s more or less a junk journal by construction, using a library discard I got for $1.
Three signatures of this ‘n’ that – sheet music, book/magazine pages, old calendar bits, junk mail, etc. Removing the dust jacket uglied the inside covers, so I zhuzzed them up with old underpapers. Some interior photos:
And a starting bulk shot.
Thanks for looking!
Oh, this is cool!
Thank you! I’m really liking the vibe of it.
You must have piles of the coolest papers and junk mail to pull together so many journals!
I love the purple.
Do you have any special way that you store or collect all of the things? So you sort by size or how?
Well, my storage is kind of a work in progress 
. I have some drawer carts from Aldi and mostly sort by category/type – book and magazine pages, masterboards and underpapers, gelli prints and painty papers, etc. The junk mail lives in a basket in the kitchen near where I typically process the mail.
I am going to put a basket in my foyer for junk mail. I get so much and I forget so I toss it into recycle! I have been saving cardboard stuff because I like painting on it, experimenting and such.
Thanks. I am just going to have to plunge in to make a journal. You are an inspirtation!
For me, just doing it and accepting I was going to have to make the mistakes to know what didn’t work for me really helped smooth the way on the first one.
Thank you for this 
.
That journal is going to fill up fast! Lovely color. It has so much energy to it.
My previous one had a lot more neutral pages, mostly by accident. I’m interested to see how/whether the palette makes a difference.
This is really cool! You’re so inventive with what you use and how you use it.
Thank you!
And purple-sonal….. yaaaaaassssss!!
