Get Started Junque Journal

What is a Junque Journal? A junque journal usually starts out with a composition book that if FULL of decorated pages. Look on YouTube and Flickr for examples.

Here are some:

For this swap, you will decorate at least 10 pages for your partner, using any media and techniques. You will also add 10 - 15 sticky notes on other pages to prompt your partner. For example, "Blue page", "Text page", "Altered Magazine Face", "Found Object page" and "Circle page".

This is an ART journal as opposed to a hand-written, soul-searching, soul-defining journal. This is a fun way to test out art techniques and use all of your odd and unused and untried art materials.

You can decorate the covers also and personalize it for your partner when they are assigned. You can begin the page-decorating part of this swap before partners are assigned.

Have fun!

(This is a USA-only swap. If someone wants to do an international version, go for it.)
