This is the mess that most people just throw away. I keep them to make bookmarks, jewlery, and other paintings. Its now recycled paint! Its awesome.

All from painting my book covers. I am an artist of no waste.

Do you have something you keep for no waste? And what do you do with it??

Sooo many new covers!!! I have 9 new 4x6 size and so far and 7 new 5x7. Excited for step one of making books!

Painting my covers is always step one cause it takes the longest for drying and sealing.

I usually tear the paper and decide on string and eyelets while waiting.

What do you do when you wait for thungs to dry or set?

This was still an exciting moment so far this summer. I can't believe I finally made a 9x12" book.

It has transparent pages inbetween to protect your work, art, notes, memories however you use a journal or sketchbook.

I am debating adding some transparent sheets to all my watercolor books to help the pages not smear in case you want your artwork to stay more pristine.

I hope your summer is going well we are more than halfway through and its finally at its peak heat!

What are you looking forward to do next?
