I have so many gelatin prints, and I am always looking for ways to use them. For the past few months I have been using lots of prints to make small soft cover journals.
I have experimented with using a print every other page and also made books with just a few prints and more blank pages.
I used a few as a gratitude journal.
And another as a tiny sketchbook.
My nephew used his to practice his Japanese.
I did make a few with hardcovers. The hardcover does elevate the feel of the journal and is good if I am making a more precious book of prints.
I like this book form because:
- It is great for single sheet prints
- It can be used for prints with inky/messy backside
- It opens pretty flat
- I can use up a lot of prints
