Sugar Lump Studios - A Sweet Smattering of Mixed Media Art

Vintage Coffee Stained Journal

May 29, 2021

I wanted to share a few pages from a coffee stained journal that was created today. The paper I used was 90 pound mixed media paper which I coffee stained in the oven. I tried to keep lots of open space and neutral colors to allow for lots of writing spots.

After drying in the oven and ironing the papers, I cut them to size and stitched the sheets together. I used old poem ephemera, coffee stained tags, stamps, old music sheets, digital tags and postcards, vintage lace, and buttons throughout the book.

On the cover I ran two strips of lace that cover the spine stitching.

I am very happy with how “neutral” it turned out!

Hope you are enjoy this Memorial Weekend!

    It’s a lovely book, perfect I think for writing a few favorite quotes or short poems. Or perhaps even adding some vintage photos or postcards to. :) Have a good day.
