Repurposed 'recipe book' Art Journal Cover

 Hi guys!

Sorry it's been a while since I posted anything here. I've not even posted on YouTube until this live stream just gone. The silly season is not called 'the silly season' for nothing!

Anyway this stream was done in three separate live streams due to the fact that we had to firstly, let the gel medium dry overnight, secondly to let the sprays and paint and rust dry overnight, then to put it all together.

I wanted to add some ribs to the spine however, that was just too hard to do via a live stream. I'm gonna have to come up with something tricky to try this one again lol.

Anyway, links below for you to watch all three live streams over on my YouTube channel:


I added the 'art' wording after the stream, along with finalising the closure additions. Please check out the pics below.
