Yayy love Art Journal classes. My ladies are really getting the hang of it now and are producing some stunning work. Even thought they are really messy lol

We had four beginners join us today. They were make the journal, pages and all, from scratch , and learning some paint techniques. And what a fantastic job they did. Just hope that my regulars didn't frighten them away with their banter!!

The regulars were continuing with the theme of colour in emotions and feelings. They each had to pick a card that depicted an emotion and its colour and they had to create a journal page around it. I was expecting a lot of resistance about it, but they surprised me and rose to the challenge beautifully. Some pages just "happened" and other pages needed an inspiration starer or a little bit of tweaking but the were all fabby. They should all feel extremely proud of themselves for creating such work.
Here are Pat and Jeannes pages.

Sara brought in this journal page that she had made at home. She had carefully sewn threads onto felt and added tags.

Came to class skipping and went home skipping - thank you so much for the best day ;o)
Art journaling is so cathartic, if anyone out there is thinking about it please just get on one of these classes - it does your soul good and should definately be prescribable.
Thank you thank you thank you xx
