from Items Cast Aside

• Focuses on a favorite project of the mixed-media
enthusiast: the journal. However, while most art
journaling books focus exclusively on the journaling
process, this book has a larger focus on creating the
journals themselves.
• Features 15 stepped-out journal projects made from
unusual materials and found objects, from electronics
packaging to tree bark to antique doorknobs.
• Inspiring work from 9 contributing artists makes
for great design features and photography.

The Elemental Journal is a new take on using found objects in mixedmedia
art, marrying journaling with cast-aside items in five different substrates:
wood, paper, metal, plastic and fabric. Inside, readers will discover
a myriad of new ways to craft a very popular mixed-media project: the
art journal. Author Tammy Kushnir guides readers through the process
of gathering found objects from their attics and garages—and even the
trash—and crafting them into personal and meaningful works of art.
