LK Ludwig
Painted, Knotted, Sewn
"Facing the blank page" fears will disappear with these lusciously painted pages housed in a hand-bound book that lies flat when opened! Spend a fun, joyful day painting papers (and, no, they won't stick together!) and binding a them into a journal that simply beckons you to fill the pages.You'll leave class with a journal ready for you to add image, and text on each beautiful page, and you'll leave with a stitch sample card so you can duplicate the binding on your own (because you will want to!) ! I'll provide awls, rulers, and needles for you to use in class. You'll want a pack of baby wipes and a stack of newspaper for keeping the color chaos in check. Come spend a playful day!
