Who Wants to Junk Journal with Elizabeth Neily

Registration

• Who Wants to Junk Journal? – $60.00
  Make a book using your original artwork, found and recycled materials. Collect and record your memories, thoughts, ideas, and inspiration. My junk journal showcases some of the memories of my life, loves and family. A junk journal can also be a daily dairy, a way to record your inspirations, an art journal, a theme book, or an artistic gift. The ways to create and use your journal are as limitless as your imagination. And it is a wonderful way to use up all the "cool stuff" we've collected over the years.
  
  
  In this workshop you will create a cover for your journal and, if time permits, some additional pages. Instructor will provide some materials for a small fee, but you are encouraged to use things your personal stash. It is best if you decide on your theme before you arrive in order to make the best use of your time during the workshop. Use some of your hand-dyed or eco-printed fabrics -- I used rust dyed for my pages. You can also use novelty prints focusing on cats, dogs, flowers, birds, etc. If you want it to be a journal to write in, then a good quality rag watercolor paper is best.
  
  
  If you have photographs you want printed on fabric, please let me know at least a week ahead of the workshop. There will be a $2.00 cost per page with up to 4 photos per page. ***Note: photos must be in a jpg format and saved at 300 dpi.
