The past couple of issues of Somerset Studio have had altered composition books or art journals in them and I wanted to give them a try. I journal everyday and have a catch-all book for that...but I also carry small art books...places to play with color, save swatches of paper, hold miscellaneous stuff receipts and stuff until I can make time to put them in their proper place. For this type of journal I tend to use drawing notebooks I pick up at Dick Blick in Edina, MN. But I thought for my September book I would try my hand with a composition book. Since these books have to be strudy enough to handle being dropped into the bottomless pit I call a purse...plus able to stand up to bouts where I simply leave them to wallow in the squallor that is the front seat of my truck....I think a composition book with its heavy chipboard cover and sewn pages will work out just fine.
