Soul Diamond Art Journal Series – Book 3

Art Journal 3 by Karen Michel

You can call this magical handmade book an art journal, grimoire, tome, or whatever title/name you connect with! The outer covers are created from beautiful upcycled fabric and embroidery and adorned with one of my handstitched fabric diamonds. The inner covers are hand-painted and hold an inside pocket for keeping notes, photos, poetry, etc….

The cover of the first signature is a repurposed print of a photograph I took of one of the retired carousels on Coney Island. This covers a set of blank sketch papers.

The second/inner signature is a collection of some of my retired art prints painted and primed for reuse 🙂 This heavy weight paper is perfect for wet or dry media.

The third/last signature is a repeat of the first signature with the second half of the art print covering a group of sketch papers. You can view it in the shop here.
