A Journal made from junk

junk mail junk journalLately I've gotten into this hobby called junk journaling. A junk journal is a book that is made of scraps or other papers that would otherwise be trash but when assembled together makes art. A junk journal could also be a book where you collect the 'junk' one accumulates through life.Now I've been working on a book made entirely of scrap book pages pages, left over scrap papers, junk mail, and food packaging boxes. I can't say it was easy. It took me months to accumulate enough of the right kinds of material.Here are some pictures; these aren't all of them. 
Because I wanted the book to present a kind of organized chaos, I took extra time to make sure the layout was as I wanted.For sure it's a strange collection of things. I'm not sure if I will make another of these. I have a shoe box of papers I collected and so I still have plenty of paper to work with.For now I'll just flip through this one once in a while.Here's my youtube video of the flip through:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtMay5sAvIo
