Well, I've got another bit of exciting news ... one of my journals was selected for "Creative Ways with Books & Journals", the new book recently released by Sue Bleiweiss and Terry Stegmiller.

I call this my "Color Journal". I’ve been saving my colored pencil “nubs” for several years, wanting to use them for a special project. Then one day I got the idea to attach them to the cover of a journal. The base of the journal is an old hardback Reader’s Digest condensed book. I removed the interior pages and then stitched in my own colorful monoprint pages using old paintbrushes as an anchor on the spine. I covered the front with the colored pencil nubs and on the back, I created a collage using an old Crayola box and paper wrappers from crayons. What I particularly like about this journal is that every item that was attached to it … the pencils, brushes and crayons (or the wrappers that were on the crayons) were all tools that I used at one time to create colorful artwork.
So, needless to say, I am extremely tickled! (PS - The wonderful photos were taken by Sue)

Hello! I'm Trina and this is the blog for The Paper Flea Market (which is becoming Jubilee Flea next month!) My online store and studio specializes in paper + fun old stuff. In addition to being a shopkeeper, I'm an artist and paper enthusiast. I adore paper and old things and see potential in everything. My artwork includes greeting cards, art journals, mixed media pieces and clever handmade home decor, and has been published in "Country Living", "Somerset Life", "Art Journaling" and "Greencraft" magazines.
