How to Choose a Book to make an Altered Book Art Journal

I want to make an altered book art journal, so I thought I would share with you how I chose the books to make an altered book art journal. What should you look for when you purchase an a book to make an altered book journal? A book that feels good in your hand. It's not too big or too small. Usually, a book that has 100 or fewer pages, unless you want to have a really big art journal altered book. A book with older more porous paper that will absorb you paint or medium. And a book that has a sewn in binding so that your book won't fall apart when you add paint and other mediums. I hope this helps you choose a book to make an altered book art journal. Let me know what you choose in the comments. Thanks for watching! Rebecca
