It's a discussion going on over here...whether I make "books" or "journals"....
Clearly my life must be good (or dull!) to have this as the current debate...
But...Do the pages have to be filled with images or a story before you'll call it a 'book'?... Or... is it simply the intention to fill the blank pages with your musings and meanderings, doodles and inspirations that makes it a journal?
I'd love to hear what your thoughts are...what makes a book a book..and a journal a journal??!! :)
I agree with Michele !!!!!!!

Hi Jenny, for me a book is something that has someone elses story or instructions etc and a journal is something that you fill up yourself with your own words or pictures... and then it becomes a book... :) hugs
ReplyDeleteANYTHING would be great in this GORGEOUS cover...
ReplyDeleteeven a box of rocks (although i do love rocks!).
looooooooooooove to you! xoxox
I've never been very good with labels... I'd simply call your creations "gorgeous"!
ReplyDelete(Wish I could help out with this debate, but I'm still having a hard time with the whole art journal vs. sketchbook topic.)

Waw your work is beautiful! really lovely xx
ReplyDeleteHow about 'booknal's'?
ReplyDeleteI looked up book |boŏk|
noun
"a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers"
Does that make it a journal whilst it's blank and then a book once it's written in!
Hmmmm... never really thought of the difference. A book is a book. It can be a journal or a sketchbook or a novel or a collection of poetry or, or, or... I think maybe you make both. They say not to judge a book by its cover, but I'm definitely prone to that offense. No matter what ends up filling your books, the outsides are delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteI am new to your site and whatever your work is - it is beautiful! I am going to be back to rummage through your achieves soon!
ReplyDeleteJournal/book...I think they're one in the same. A journal is like your life book. So, ya I think it's both. :)
ReplyDeleteLove to you and your amazingly beautiful journal books my friend!

I'm supposed to keep a 'journal' to help with my creative writing group. I'm supposed to fill it with thoughts, ideas, images, anything that inspires me ( can't say I've got around to that yet). I have to agree with Jenny , a journal is your life book. When all is said and done its just semantics.
