Easy Accordian Fold Art Journaling

We just got back from our family trip to the mountains.

And seeing as how I could not bear to part with my art supplies...

I took them with me and worked on this art journal into the wee hours of the night.

I had these left over pieces of watercolor paper,

so I folded them up + taped them together

to make an accordian journal.

I love the accordian fold.

and flaps.

and pockets.

and ribbons that wrap around.

and secret places to hide stuff.

I am into the color palette in this pattern:
red, yellow, turquoise + brown.

I can't seem to get away from it.

Love it.

I started by tearing and gluing down scraps of paper,
and finger painting over it.

Next comes the stamps, more paper, doodles, photos,
extra randomness, and a button and a string.
So here's the beginning...

and I'm off to finish this little journal.
