Do you journal or scrapbook or make altered books? Do you want to learn how to make a special book filled with beautiful pages waiting to be used? We’ll take a vintage ledger and turn it into a personal treasure by altering it , sewing in new pages, and then decorating those pages. We will explore and play with all different supplies while preparing the pages inside. I will bring all my favorite journaling mediums so you can push yourself (or jump in if you need a starting place) to find new ideas within yourself and add depth to your existing techniques. We will touch on water colors, liquid acrylics, crayons, special pens, wax, glazes, attachments, sewing, (I’ll bring a machine), collage, etc. etc. This class is about creating the book and giving the pages inside background layers, not about the writing that you do in it. It would make a perfect journal, scrapbook, or anything book. At the end of the day, you will be ready to go straight to the journaling bonfire, take class notes, make an artfest scrapbook full of photos and thoughts or anything else your heart desires.
