Inside this issue you’ll find an abundance of inspiration and techniques for bookmaking and art journaling.

BOOKMAKING
Learn key bookmaking techniques with editors Jeannine Stein and Paige Martin, like how to make neat book cover corners that don’t have too much book paper or cloth, but also don’t let the book board show through. Join Erin Zamrzla in a tutorial that will teach you how to create a weekly planner using the long and link stitches. Upcycle with the Can-Do Book project by Doris Arndt that uses empty aluminum cans, and create felted book covers using switch plates to add interesting cut-outs to your covers.

ART JOURNALING
Join Barbara Roth to gain a new understanding of the color wheel and basic design principles to create journal pages that pop. Explore image transfer on encaustic with Barbara Smith Buckles, find tips for travel journaling with Carol Hendrickson, and create a folded pocket journal with Melinda Canino. You’ll also find a how-to for creating transparent collage, illuminated tangles that shed new light on popular zen doodle design styles, and so much more!

Hear from Jeannine Stein, Editorial Director:

"One of my favorite sketchbooks is from a trip I took to Europe several years ago. I bound the book in anticipation of the trip and prepared some pages by creating backgrounds with watercolor washes. On the trip I filled the book with sketches, photos, and ephemera I collected: tickets, brochures, bags, food labels, and more. Every time I look at it I’m instantly transported back to that incredible time.

We have a couple of great new features in this issue: bookbinding and art journaling techniques to add to your arsenal, and Anthology, a section on news and notes from the bookbinding and art worlds. I’m ready to dive in, and I hope you are too!"
