  • Turn on cc. First true junk journal, four signatures out of a group from the year. These first 4 fit into the Arm & Hammer box thickness -- several signatures were removed as work went on and await being made into journals.
    Update: March 2024. I finally bound the signatures with miscellaneous cotton string a while back, wondering if I should exhibit it.
    I did exhibit the pandemic part of my #lintjournal ... in jars. You can see that on ‪@artsy‬ under my name at Shockboxx Gallery there.

    What an enjoyable video. Finally, I see what a junk journal is all about. Now this makes great sense to me and your ideas help me to see what to do with some of the lovely things I have. Thank you.

      It's literally a Scrapbook, but the connotation of the word changed in the 1980s-90s from the original: a place for paper ephemera. Junk journal includes the concept of junk mail and disposable packaging/ wrappers.

    Best junk journal 📓 video ever❤️ This totally took the pressure off making one. Thinking it has to be cookie cut perfect. It’s junk with memories. That’s what I loved most about yours and history. Thank you for sharing it with us 😁 it’s junk so it’s not perfect but it sure is beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

    • @AlisonsArt
      @AlisonsArt  Год назад

      It is! I enjoy going back through it and seeing what has changed in a shorter time than one might think. It makes me realize that 20 years from now it will be even more interesting, for changes yet unknown to us.
      It is the reincarnation of the original idea of The Scrap Book -- lots of ephemeral paper products became widely dispersed. News, tickets, fliers, cards, labels, stamps, dance cards, invitations, announcements -- little scraps of life, unintended mementoes that make it through the years by being collected in scrapbooks.

      Arting: The process of making art. Instead of having to say the exact type of art a person is making (for example: painting, sculpting, drawing), an individual can say arting to mean they are producing any type of art. neologisms.rice.edu/index.php?a=term&d=1&t=21032

    What do you do with a junk journal? There is no place to journal or write. Just curious as I think it’s a fantastic idea, but think that it should have some function for someone.

    • @AlisonsArt
      @AlisonsArt  6 месяцев назад

      Some pages have written words on them, some have card pockets. The more time that passes, the more evident it is that the junk itself is the journal. Many years ago, when mass-printed cards, labels, advertisements began to circulate and be discarded, or saved in a box, these were known as #scrapbooks , ephemera : fleeting things for special times. Tickets, ribbons, pressed flowers, notes that came on gifts, things that get lost, thrown away with time. Many scrapbooks during tough times were made from cutting up Sears catalogs. Movie magazines provided photos of stars off screen and made it into fan scrapbooks. They get better with time.
      Junk = scrap ,
      jour = day journal daybook or
      dia = day diary.

      Plus, some people are better at leaving inspiring space for others. I have a bunch of distressed pages that can be inserts for writing that I may make into signatures for people to use as tgey like in their own junk journals. This journal is my own. It can be continued with more collage. It has numerous other pages undeveloped and separate.

      Recently, it's been upcycling toilet roll tubes into pocket journals -- videos up.
      I just finished a self-portrait that is in an exhibit opening tomorrow night at Shockboxx gallery in Hermosa Beach CA. Three videos of it are up: adding links just now,
