Description:

Make a junk journal! This is a journal that is pasted and stitched with fibers, ticket stubs, vintage ephemera, magazines, and more. You will hand bind the book, and use the following links as inspiration:

http://www.johwey.com/2010/06/09/art-journal-nostalgia-1/

and

http://www.johwey.com/2010/06/09/inside-nostalgia-art-journal/ but again, it's meant for inspiration! Create your OWN work of art! Make it amazing, and something YOU are proud of. Don't feel like you have to make it look like the links above. It's just inspiration.

You'll have one partner. Make a book that really emulates that "junk journal" feeling. Each page is handmade, by pasting pieces of papers together: junk mail, old catalogs, used books and magazines, and any material really that is destined to be thrown away. Then, you'll hand bind them! Remember: AT LEAST 30 pages in this book. Make it with love, then create a beautiful cover of your choice.

USA only, so we can really put a lot into the book, without worrying about going broke mailing it!

The book should contain at LEAST 30 pages. The theme of the book is sender's choice, but please try to send something your partner won't absolutely hate.
