Altered Book into an Art Journal

I have been taking part in a challenge set by Jean (Bluebird).
This month, Jean challenged us to alter a book to make an art journal.


I found my book, Sixteen Self Sketches by Bernard Shaw, in a charity shop.
It was just the right size for my first altered book
& has turned out to be a wonderful source of inspiration.

This is a picture of the book before work began.


This is the front cover now.


Here are a few of the pages that I have been working on.














By it's very essence, an art journal is a continuing project,
so there is no "completed" project to show.
Even pages I think are finished, I find myself going back to add a little bit more.
