Finished art journal (same as first photo).
I had fun working in the iridescent colors & since it was for an informal book cover, I added my glitter embellishments as well (typical of many of my art pieces). Unfortunately the changing reflective quality of the iridescents and the glitter is somewhat difficult to photograph...lol.
What I woulddo differently next time; use a lighter weight paper for the covers, along with thinner cardboard. I probably would use a different glue mainly for quicker drying time. And attend more closely to squaring up pages as I went along. The project was great fun & I'm looking forward to using it soon...
