Last week I made a tiny Traveler's Notebook . Then, I started using the first booklet insert as an art journal, and showed you the first two pages . Today, I’m showing you the next two pages. When I made this book, I was thinking of it as a “test”. I wasn’t, originally planning on drawing in the booklets inside, so I used scrap paper. As a result, several of the pages already had various markings on them.
Yesterday, I showed you the tiny Traveler's Journal that I made. Yesterday, I started using the first insert booklet as a tiny art journal. I chose the theme of “seeds”. So these are my first two pages. The first is inside the cover and the right side is the “title page”. Working this small does take some rethinking about the techniques normally used in a standard-sized book. For example, the width of a mark made by a Copic marker is much larger, in proportion, than I was normally used to.
I’ve been totally obsessed with Traveler’s Notebooks since seeing a mini one turned into an art journal on Facebook! So I decided to try my hand at making them. I’ve made several of various sizes. But today, I wanted to show you a little tiny, mini one. Above, you can see the front and the spine. The flower design is continued on the back. Here is the spine, showing how two elastics were strung, and with the closing loop undone.
