I’ve done a lot of watercolor painting in my time and my pile of half finished paintings was getting rather large! I decided that I should up-cycle some of these paintings into art journals for my store. I use Arches 140 lb acid free watercolor paper so the quality of the paper is very good. Some of the pages have paint and some are blank. Unlike a store bought journal, it's rough and imperfect and will hopefully inspire creativity in the owner.
I liked the idea of using book rings because you can easily add, remove or rearrange the pages. However, my daughter, who is a huge collector of journals, didn't like the book ring binding. This unleashed a hole pandora's box of questions. Will people not want journals with book rings??? What kind of binding do people like. I got a book out of the library which is entirely on binding journals. There are many other types of binding!
So my question to you is: What type of binding do you like for your journals? Please leave a commment if you have a preference. I'd love to hear.
