It's been a long time since I've posted on here, but I'm still around and still doing creative things.  I did get sidetracked for a little while by starting to play video games (after quitting totally for several years).  They can totally suck me in and I don't want to do anything else.  I now allow myself to play one, for just a little time each day, so I'm able to enjoy other things as well.  And I am having a great time making junk journals and glue books.

I've made several junk journals over the past year or two.  None are entirely finished but mostly done.  I need to take some photos of them to post on here and I will do that at some point.  About a week ago, I started making a glue book from a vintage book I had.  Here are some photos of that.









I started out doing each page separate, but realized that it looked much better if I did a two page spread, so am now doing that.  I also had started, thinking this would be a junk journal, hence the pocket page, but decided to just make it a glue book instead.  I would like to add some words to each page, but haven't quite decided what words I want to add yet.

For my book, I used an old book that I had and cut out several pages from each signature, snipping the strings in the middle of the signature and pulling out the loose pages, leaving the ones that were glued in.  I've found this is a great way to make space for glueing other papers and lace and what not to the pages, so the book isn't overly bulky when done.

That's all for now.
