I
love making Muse Journals. It gives me a chance to explore techniques
and ideas in my art on a smaller canvas. They take quite a while to
make, but I find the experience delightful. There is something magical
about marrying books and art.
Both front and back covers are mixed media originals, hand-sewn onto a blank text block with a Coptic stitch. The binding allows the book to lie flat while it is worked in. It also looks beautiful and is very strong.
The inside covers are decorated with lovely papers and each journal is signed. The spines of each signature are wrapped with decorative paper, enhancing the overall look while adding handy dividers.

These are my latest offerings: Arabesque II and Arabesque III. You can read more about Arabesques and Zentangles in my previous blog posts.
