Hello My Name Is Journal.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 1 comments link this post

This journal has been purposefully defaced.

I bought a composition book with wonderful interior paper made of sugar cane fibers, and then covered the book inside and out with what you see here. Something about those innocuous "Hello my name is" stickers that has always piqued my interest.

The interior paper is a nice writing surface, and the lines on the paper are printed in muted brown ink so as not to be too heavy and distracting visually.

The street.

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

I painted this on something called "Aquabord", a museum-quality board with a specially coated surface that is meant for watercolor painting.

This is a hardboard panel, 1/8" thick, 5 x 7. It was a bit of an experiment in materials and techniques. I added some additional light graphite marks.

Frankly, I'm not sure what I think of the surface or the way it handles the paint, but the end result is pleasing enough. The packaging says you don't need to cover the painting with glass, and that the final result is ready to frame.

So, if you're into street scenes of mediocre sentimentality and not too much visual noise, this is your painting.

Price: $20

Mini-journals: Mixed sets

written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post

These mini-journals are a perfect for long letters, topic-specific journaling in one sitting, or perhaps giving as gifts to members of your writing group.

About these mini journals:
Mini-journals have 24-lb. interior weight paper. The covers are made from various decorative papers from my art supply stash, with cover weights varying from cover stock to heavy-weight regular paper.

Each mini-journal is, essentially, one section of a book, with the pages sewn in one station. The sewn edge is covered by a binding of paper glued to the edge. [See binding edge]

The front page of each mini-journal has a hand-doodled image, with each journal's imagery varying. It is a simple drawing, basically giving you a place to write your name or indicated the date and what the journal is about. [See sample of inside drawing -- each journal has a different image and will not necessarily be this one]

Each journal is 5 1/2" high, 6" wide, 1/8" thick.
