Journal Class

Yesterday I taught 16 lovely ladies in my community art group how to make a journal.

We had so much fun! Most of them had never heard of art journals before.

We used a file folder like Susan Bleiwess' tutorial : Folder Sketchbook, and did the pamphlet stitch.

Then we  painted our pages using gelatos and baby wipes as I learned from the fabulous Terri Kahrs : Backgrounds. 

I love teaching, and passing on what I've learned. 

We had a lot of laughs.

The ladies loved their new art journals.

Feathers

At Trilogy, we were lucky to have Tom, a Native American artist teach us how to make feathers from paper.
He was so helpful and it was great fun.
We cut feathers from watercolour paper, glued a bamboo skewer for strength, and painted them to look realistic.

                            We put a piece of a white feather on the bottom and leather to look realistic.
                             
                      Happy New Year!
                                   

Tangle Class

Last week I taught several Tangle classes.

It is based on Zentangle and was so much fun!
Everyone had a good time and wanted to keep on tangling after the class was over.

We did six patterns then put them together on a tile.

Here are some of the student's work:
