Grungy Junk /art journal “COME AS YOU ARE” (SOLD)

She is approximately 24 x 17 x 6,5 cm. (9,5 x 6.8 x 2.6 inch)

This grungy journal has a trifold fabric softcover. The linnen fabric is hand dyed with coffee and rust water and hand stitched around the edge with embroidery floss. The closure is removable and made of real leather. The focal piece are layers of rust water dyed cotton fabric, coffee dyed lace, teabag with cotton twine, burlap, slow stitching with embroidery floss, and a piece of tree bark attached with wire and seed beads with a small brass key on top of it. The sides of the leather are hand stitched with burlap twine. The cotton is attached to the leather with eye lets to create a pocket on the front and back side. It closes with a strap through a large brass safety pin.


It has in total 146 pages (3 signatures). The journal has a very grungy look and feel with with lots of layering. I used many different types of paper for the pages, such as coffee dyed paper, canvas sheets, vintage glassine, antique atlas pages, antique music sheets, vintage air mail paper, handmade Mulberry paper, antique Cinnabar rice paper, pages from vintage and antique books.


The journal has a large pocket on the inside of the front and the back cover. Although the journal is heavily embellished with mixed media artwork, there is lots of space for journaling. Throughout the journal there are bellybands and pockets to hold ephemera. The edges of the pages are distressed with coffee and distress ink. Hand stamping throughout the journal. As placeholders I included pages from antique books and a Dutch first day of issue cover (FDC).
