But art journals are papercrafts.

sort of ... but i mean a blank journal with decorated borders for them to use. it is more a "bookbinding" craft than a "papercraft".

if anybody thinks i'm wrong, please correct me.

bookbinding involves more than papercrafting and is worth more.

there is a huge difference between receiving a nicely bound usable art journal for you to fill than receiving an atc or an origami crane.

Yes i agree. I was thinking the art journals that are like deorated notebooks. If i were american i would love to join! Im in europe thoug.
