Fragments: a Stitched Mixed Media Journal eProject

Art journals are the perfect medium for telling a visual story, and in this project I share my process and techniques for making a themed fabric art journal with stiff fabric pages. Like paper, stiff fabric pages are perfect for adding painting and mixed media gels, hand and machine sewing, and even writing. Even better, fabric pages are stronger so you can sew without fear of tearing or ripping as sometimes happens with paper pages. Also when using a fabric surface with wet media, you don’t have to worry about the pages warping or bleeding.

I also share design and stitch notes that include details for creating the pages in this particular journal, so you can use the information as inspiration to make a journal that is meaningful to you. Four PhotoArt images are included that you can print onto fabric or paper using an inkjet printer. If you’ve never printed on fabric before, you can find information here on my website.
