Some Journal Spreads......................

As I've mentioned in earlier posts, I have been teaching an art journal workshop, here in my local area, along with my dear friend Kerri Posson. We've been having a blast sharing some of the things we've learned along the way with some very special people in our lives.

Kerri and I offered a two-part workshop and have had to add a third part which is coming up in a couple of weeks. We all decided we wanted to finish our journals together as a group :)

Once our Part III session is completed, I will be sharing student journal works on my Blog, here, so you can see the amazing spreads of our students' journals. Kerri and I are in awe of how they've taken off with this personal expression. We handmade our journals out of watercolor paper with a sewn-in binding.

I thought I'd share a few pictures of some of the spreads in my own journal. I have had to work on them, at home, as when I'm teaching, my focus is on the students and not working in my own. Kerri and I offer demonstrations of background, painting, stenciling, stamping, transfer techniques and then assist students with what they've learned to add to their journals. It's really been a wonderful experience, for me. Kerri and I share the same enthusiasm for teaching art and we have so many ideas and plans for future workshops together. I've linked Kerri's Blog (above) and when you have time, check out her art! She's one creative art chick, not only with her artwork but her words! She has a keen sense of humor :)

Hope you are all experiencing wonderful weather and get some art time in for your weekend. I'll be catching up on my blog visiting over this weekend. I can't wait to see your new creations!

Be safe and much love to you all! -Marilyn xxoo
