I assembled the book in the following video without stitching or adhesive. It is fun to make and I am planning on showing how it is done in upcoming workshops and then participants will each make one to use as a writing or art journal. This one was designed as an art journal with using mixed media techniques, such as, deli sheets, citra solv shifts, collage, embroidery, secret compartments and more.
Making art is an ideal way to quiet your mind and tap into the creative right-side of your brain; art offers the same benefits as meditation. With practice, you learn that as you create each page you can allow yourself to be transported into a meditative zone.
At time clip 1:05 in this video you can see a glimpse of a slot, in the fold of the book, that gives this book technique it’s name.
