Finished Rainbow Glue Book + free project label
A bit over a year ago I shared a video and a blog post on How to start a Rainbow Glue Book mostly because I was so inspired by this idea of creating monochromatic kind of magazine collages in a composition notebook myself. While filling this book I’ve had a great time for sure, filmed […]

Orange is the happiest color.

Something I like to do every now and then in my Art Journals, and more often in altered books, is to create an “all-over collage” type of page.
