The cutest whimsical mushrooms are part of this journal - I show you how to make them out of paper circles and a few snips of the scissors. Completing the mushroom theme are a combination of field guide mushroom cutouts and my own small watercolor paintings.
I’ll hide it on June 8 here in my Portland, OR neighborhood as part of the worldwide Game of Shrooms 2024 art scavenger hunt. I am in cahoots with someone else to hide it, but can’t give you clues until the day of the hunt! More previews and June 8 hints on the Community tab of this channel.
I gave you the wrong name of the guy who started Game of Shrooms - it’s Daniel “Attaboy” Seifert and you can find out more Googling “Game of Shrooms” or on Instagram @gameofshroomsofficial.
I’m dabbling on Instagram as well, so follow me there @annekenlon, especially if you’re in the Portland OR area and want to more reels on these journal elements and if you want to see clues on June 8 where you can find my mushroom journal - and keep it for your own!
Natasa @treasurebooks gets full credit for the paper mushroom idea, but I couldn’t find her video to link you!
UPDATE: THANKS to the viewer who pointed out that the paper mushroom actually originated with Luise Heinz! Here's the link! • A CIRCLE IS A MUSHROOM...

About this book
This book is handmade from ordinary materials that otherwise would have been thrown away.
Packaging, outdated documents, damaged books, discarded office supplies, and junk mail all combine to make these pages.
You will notice the addition of coffee stains, torn and inked edges, and other features to enhance the feeling of age and wear.
This aesthetic celebrates the beauty in everyday objects that endure and remain useful, despite imperfections and inevitable damage over time.
