Yellow Blue Art Journal - Coptic and French Link Stitches

I was inspired to make this art journal after watching Sea Lemon's YouTube tutorial on making a journal using the Coptic and French Link stitches. I used the weaving/mending samples as the front and back covers. The black thread tension is slightly off but I’m happy with my first attempt. I will definitely give this stitching combo another try. The finished size of the journal is 5.75 inches x 8.5 inches x 1.25 inches.

Slow Stitch Journal -

Here is the short video of this art journal, click here.

I finally brought out my Slow Stitch Art Journal and started creating in it. I do admit that hand stitching doesn't come naturally to me. This past work week has been a bit challenging. I found solace in focusing on creating a design and stitching it. This act became somewhat meditative.

Red Flame and Purple Journals - Practice

Last night, I organized my journal making materials and supplies. I found these two fabric covers that I had kept unbound to use as samples for workshops. Instead of letting them sit, I cut up some drawing paper and bound both journals. The red flame journal is bound using the French link stitch and the purple journal uses the gathered long stitch. It was nice to practice binding just for fun. Great way to relax from the day.

New artwork in my Doodle Art Journal

I mentioned on the post here that I'm working in multiple art journals at one time.  

These are the recent artwork made in my Doodle Art Journal. I'm enjoying working on multiple art journals at the same time. It helps me to work through creative block. If I don't feel like making a collage in my Mini Art Journal then I can create a doodle in this journal.
