Artist In Bloom Journal | Anatomy of a Layered Book

" The purpose of this course and class is more than just a journal. For me a journal is a capsule of paper, words, and art. A notebook that can last a lifetime. Everyones journal is unique and special to the owner and creator - and when you create your own journal you create your own canvas to record your life in. You grow alongside the creation of your journal - and that is so incredibly honorable and valuable. "

Before I create anything I always sketch and draw out an image of what I want, I imagine the journal, the color palette, the papers - and I begin to get excited. I think of all the different possibilities and outcomes of what it can become.

The layers of the creative process. That is what this journal making course is all about - blooming your own version of creativity through the layers of the artist in bloom journals.

The anatomy of creating layers in this style of journal focuses on six techniques, each pertaining to a different section of our journal - by the end of this course you will have a beautifully constructed layered journal that bloomed your ideas and artistic style onto paper and fabric.

" When you design and create your own journal the process of choosing the papers, fabrics, and special trinkets automatically gives you a bond with your book because you know from the start that no one else has the same specially curated journal - because you made it - because you were there since the beginning.
