Making my own watercolor books and art journals

 

There is something about handmade things, don't you think? I love just getting the paper and putting them together in my own, cute little watercolour book with my own custom cover and the paper that I prefer. 

What I like doing also is using different types of paper in one journal. It doesn't all have to be that same paper from one manufacturer. On the contrary, I love finding little surprises in my watercolor journal. Quite often I select 4-5 different (leftover ) paper sheets and bind them together.

There are some supplies that I use all the time, no matter what book I am binding - be it an art journal, watercolor book, recipe notebook or just a journal of my favorite paintings and sketches. 

Check out my favourite Bookbinding Kit I have on my website, if you are interested.
