Art Unraveled 2019

Student Level: All levels
Type of Workshop: Project

Workshop Category: Art Journaling, Journal-making

Creating in an art journal is fun, but making your own journal is even better! I'll show you how to create your own mixed media style canvas journal. We'll build on layers with acrylic paint, acrylic ink, spray ink, stencils & stamps for a dimensional & personal look. And we'll fill it with our own unique set of handmade collage papers and embellish with lace, ribbon, trim, etc. to make a truly gorgeous-yet-functional journal! I'll also get you started on some journal pages with my favorite background techniques, and prompts!
