Gluing Notebook Pages Together

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Oct 13, 2008

I don’t know why, but all I can think about this morning is:

• Gluing notebook pages together
• Covering the notebook pages with black gesso
• Creating collages
• Writing in white ink

This has been on my mind since last night and I even had a dream about this art project last night. I wonder if it’s because I wrote about black gesso the other day for another website? I don’t know, but it’s something I defiantly want to do.

I love gluing notebook pages together to create a sturdier surface to work on. Notebook art has been a close runner up to my love for working in art journals. It’s a bit different (to me, but not to some others) because I write a lot of text in my notebook art books. Sometimes I glue the pages together, and then write.

This is also a great project to work on with my kids. This way, the notebook fills faster and they don’t grow tired or bored with the project after a few days. They quickly want to fill another! I love seeing them inspired like that.

Maybe that’s what I’ll do for my ArtSoMoFo work today . . . glue together some pages in a notebook and see where it leads. I don’t have any black gesso, but I do have black acrylic craft paint. I know, it’s not quite the same, but it will be a decent stand-in.
