If you’ve ever felt stuck staring at a blank page, unsure how to start, then this art journal might be exactly what you need.

In this video, I’ll introduce you to the eclectic-page gluebook. It's a low-pressure, no-rules journal made from scraps you already have. It’s a handmade book built from mismatched papers, designed to help you break free from overthinking and just start.

I’ll show you how I make one, how I use it, and why this little book has helped me reconnect with my creativity again and again. Whether you’re new to collage or just need a reset, this is a deeply freeing way to begin.
