This is a little hymnal

that is horizontal instead of vertical...

It's a shaped note hymnal and the hymns are listed by TUNE instead of TITLE

And I must confess that I really don't know many of the hymns inside...

I picked it up at a thrift store [of course!] and thought it would

be perfect as faith based art journal -- 

Y'all know I don't like to add a lot of bulky things to my Bible Journaling 

[a personal preference.] 

But anything goes in my art journals ---

So I've really enjoyed some of the things I've ordered 

from Illustrated Faith and Bella Blvd.

Just a note: to make these pages thick enough to hold paint, etc. 

I usually gesso or mod podge a couple of pages together...

[That's wax paper in between keeping them from all sticking together!]

Sometimes I go through and do the entire book at one time, but usually I just 'glue' a few pages together whenever I'm working on a journal page.

This little book is a favorite!
