Gluebooks are sort of a cross between magazine collage, art journals, and daily diaries. They incorporate elements of each of these creative disciplines, and yet are a unique art form.
The really great thing about gluebooks is that they require no techniques or fancy supplies. All you need is a book, your favorite glue, and some things to glue down, and you're ready to roll.
