Art Journaling Magazine Article, Free Demo & Upcoming Workshop
I have an article in the new Winter 2011 Art Journaling Magazine
(p. 42-47)
My friend Katie called me from Barnes & Noble and said she opened up the magazine and my daughter Merri's eyes were staring back at her with my handwriting all over it. It features my Spring journal from last year. You can see more of that journal and the techniques I used below. There will be a demonstration at our local Art Media store on January 22nd, and I will be facilitating a new 6-week workshop series, on Wednesday mornings and on Wednesday evenings, February 9th-March 16th. See below for more details.
