Art Journal in progress by Marcia Hero

 I've already started my next art journal.  Since all of my paintings are finished for our Gallery 2622 show, which opens on Friday, June 2, 2023, I wanted to keep myself busy between more (larger) paintings, which are generally created at our Martini Girls 4 Studio at Inspiration Studios.  This next journal will be very colorful, with a lot more abstract painting and less collage. Some images of pages in progress:

Latest Art Journal by Marcia Hero

 My most recent Art Journal has definitely taken some time to finish.  I started this one in early January, by tearing watercolor paper, in 2 different weights to make the pages.  After covering each sheet with a monoprint background, I used various papers and ephemera to create a collage on the pages.  There are 6 folded sheets, which make 12 double sided pages.  The cover and spine were cut from stiff mat board, and covered with a piece of my own screen printed fabric. The book was then bound with a pamphlet stitch, and the cover was collaged with wood, stone, and paper.
