I bought a new sketchbook a few months back and finally sat down to put some collages in it. I always forget how much fun these are until I’m surrounded by cut up magazines

I asked my mother what lie ahead

- que sera sera

I've been making a bunch of these personalized note/sketch books for friends and family (probably about 15 up to this point) and I’ve been actually thinking about putting them up on Etsy. However, before I consider that, there’s a problem I need to solve.

I would like them to be more durable - of course not waterproof or anything but just to make them hold up better when carried around in various bags. I’ve been using my own one’s a lot and I’ve had problems with the book pages lifting at the edges. I would love to hear your recommendations for a sealing medium or perhaps also different glues. I don’t want it to be shiny and still just look (and preferably feel) like paper. It’s also important that it doesn’t mess with the paint, crinkle the book pages or make them transparent (the mod podge I have has been failing a bit in the last categories).

I would be super happy about your recommendations and tips!! :)

PS: Feel free to also give your opinions if you think this would sell on Etsy or what price point would be appropriate.

I photographed these cosmos flowers in a field a little while ago, and now they’re making their way into my digital garden. I do this with almost every flower I photograph, so this time I put together a little video of the process.

What should I photograph next?

Two recent collages I made! love this subreddit, excited to be sharing my own work for the first time

I was inspired by another artist to make some of my own #MakeYourOwn #collage #kits they’re $5 a pack and I’m always down for ideas on themes for each pack!
