The Bookmaker Collective - Wendy Solganik- L'il Willa Journal
**This class is now over but you may still purchase the recording of the live class.
If you love the look of art journaling but don’t love the feeling of staring down at a blank page, let me show you how to never start with a blank page again! In the “Li’l Willa” workshop, we’ll be using our own home made foam stamps and a gelli plate as the jumping off point for a magnificent journal made from messy underpaper in a size that works for you. We’ll fill our journals with collage fodder, stenciling and marks of all kind, adding a focal image and even some text to complete a few pages or spreads during the workshop.
Complete kits and a la carte supplies available here.
