These journals are beautiful! I'm sure anyone receiving one of them would treasure it always....there is so much love and creativity put into each page.
Stegart, the paint on the pages inside the book is just various brands of inexpensive acrylic paint. You know the little bottles that have squirt tops. On the cover art I use heavy body Goldens. I gesso the cover before painting. But not the pages. Thanks everybody for coming to see and say so. Sharon
