Art journal cover, March 2016
Every time my art journal has only a couple empty pages left, I prepare a new notebook for my next art journal. I love making covers, I can't explain why, but I love it even more than art journaling itself.
Lately my art journaling doesn't look anything like it did in previous years. I do a lot of sketching and ink drawing. Sometimes I only use pencil or one colored pen. This is the reason why I have chosen a simple notebook for my next art journal.

I used plain notebook and glued torn pages from an old book on the cover. I painted it with acrylics, finished with white and black pen and finalized with glossy varnish.

I think it came out quite cute and I can hardly wait to use it.
