Mixed Media Art Questions for Milliande

What brand of journal do you use the most? Are they stitched binding? The paper looks soft and sturdy. Thank you for your guidance and inspiration. You have helped me not to fear free expression ! :) ) ) I'm thankful that I found your website !


Hi Rhelda

and thanks you for your question

I use a brand of Art Journal here from the Uk from a company called seawhite, however they do not ship to the UK

I have tried on several occassions to get them to supply but they say they are only interested in wholesale ...so if someone knows who might be willing to stock their product...let me know

It is a paper that is water resistant ..making it suitable for mixed media journaling as it can take quite a bit of beating but is not as heavy as a watercolor paper nor does it have the smae coarse texture so I can do pen and ink work too

I have never quite found an equivalent for it elsewhere ad I have tried a lot ..

I also use a purple banded moleskine journal for my pen and ink watercolor washes ..although the water does peculiar things to the structure of the paper

I use mostly bound journals and I do not like the ring bound versions

Sorry I cant be of more help
kind regards
