I'm working fast and furiously through these USPS Art Project collaborations now!  As a reminder, this is a project where two artists team up and mail each other an unfinished artwork.  And then they each finish the artwork they receive.  My partner Melinda sent me an embellished gelatin print and I turned it into a cover for a little pamphlet stitch art journal — otherwise known as a single signature art journal:

One of the things I love about bookbinding is that you can put any kind of page into your book that you want.

And finally, here's the original artwork Melinda sent me:

If you're interested in learning how to create a pamphlet stitch art journal, please join me for my live online class next week.  This is super easy gateway bookbinding and lots of fun to do!

Thanks for stopping by!
