Mixed media art supplies, especially papers come in all shapes and sizes, but today I’m going to reuse an old cookbook, and I’m going to encourage you to as well!
Aside from my passion for hand painting papers, I also love to cook…err…well I used to love to cook. Now that we’re empty nesters it’s not quite as fun.
Over the years I’ve amassed a very large collection of cookbooks that I just can’t part with. One day I brought one of them into the studio with me, and like anything else that ends up in the studio, it got paint on it.
This was the start of a new obsession for me…painting on cookbook pages!
What makes this an awesome paper to use for mixed media art is that the pages are typically sturdier than most papers, and the book itself becomes a container for your thoughts and explorations. Plus, it’s a great way to recycle.
So, grab that cookbook that’s been sitting on your shelf for years, and go paint in it - it’s so much fun!

This was so interesting, will definitely look for a good cook book at the thrift store. I love the fact that there was no music as I often find it distracting myself. Super fun to see this, thanks!
I normally don’t cringe when people use books as a substrate but I own that cookbook and it cost me a fortune 😂😂😂❤
I love when I find cookbooks in the thrift stores! I love their shape & durability! Glossy pages I collage over & throw some gesso here & there. Adds texture & gets rid of that blank space! Love your version!
Brilliant idea for the use of old cookbooks. Who knew the strength of the page? Not me!
First of all, fantastic demonstration. I’m hoping to see a flip through of your journal.
I just went through a torrential rain to get a used cookbook, that’s how much I loved your video. Thanks!❤
Well, that page of the cookbook is awesome, I can just imagine how it feels! Soft and leathery! Pretty challenging to work in the heat and humidity, let alone a fever! Sometimes it feels like the more we want a pull to turn out, that’s when it sticks to the plate! You got most of it though, thanks for sharing your cookbook!💕🇨🇦
So awesome! I love this! Thanks for sharing your work!!
Great ideas! Great process❤
Love the idea of using a cookbook. Really enjoyed watching the process, and the way they turned out.
You say you left the paper too long on the plate, but actually, if you had left it even longer it wouldn't have torn. When there's a lot of paint on the gel plate, the paper absorbs it and it tears when it's still partially wet. I sometimes leave my prints overnight when I have many layers of paint and when I want to be sure to get everything off (though, I think, in this case just another 1/2 hour would have been enough). That's why it's handy to have several plates :)
I’ve scene so many collage videos, but the way you used the pearl white paste
Wow never thought to do this with an old cookbook. I have one it weighs a lot but and it was $$. But it’s just sitting around. Now it will become a cool journal. ❤❤❤
Such a great idea with the cookbook and wood grain thingy!!
What a great tip, to keep your hello plate at the side. Thank you. Will definitely give this a go.
Love the cookbook idea and intrigued by the jelly plate. I've never heard of a jelly plate before and like the idea a print can be pulled off of it. I look forward to your video on this topic. Thanks!
La cuisine française est la meilleure du monde c'est normal que ce livre soit parfait ! 😂
Loved this. Beautiful patina on the cookbook page. Thanks.
What a beautiful result! Thanks so much for sharing!
