Well, it's almost a year after its launch, but we have finally finished our Great Canadian Travelling Art Journal Project and I have to say it has turned out most spectacularly!!
Starting in February, 2013, this little handmade art journal (6" X 6") made the rounds to 14 different Canadian mixed media artists from coast to coast, who each created a page (or more).
The journal was made by me from recycled greeting cards. If you missed the post last year on that, here is the link so you can see how I created it, as well as the "before" shots of the pages of the journal prior to our artists getting their hands on 'em.
Making of the Art Journal
I am so pleased to now be able to share with you the finished pages of the whole journal.

Now that the journal is done, the group has agreed to auction it off for charity. I will be listing the journal shortly on either Ebay or Etsy and proceeds raised from the sale of it will benefit the SPCA. If this project and charity resonate with you, please bid on the journal to help our cause.
Thank you so much!

It was an honour to be part of this wonderful project! Thank you and congrats, Joanna!!
Wow, fabulous journal! What a wonderful way to get others involved and benefit a charity!
This is really cool! Can we do one for artists in the US?
Thanks everyone for your comments. Erin and Norina it was such a pleasure to work with you on this project.
Anyone can do this anywhere so if a group of US artists wants to do it, by all means. It is lots of fun!
Cheers all!
