ART JOURNAL WORKSHOPS

Last month, I had the distinct privilege and honor to be invited to the studio of Marlene Glickman to teach a workshop on making art journals  out of what most people throw away.

Again, I must say that Jennibellie got me started on these and I just LOVE making (and teaching) them!!! 

I taught the same workshop on two different days and met some awesome new ladies and got to see several dear friends.

The next few pictures shown were taken during the workshops and are of students work. 

Unfortunately, I didn't even take my camera out on the second day. :( If any of you girls have pictures...please send them my way.

It was such a great experience and just makes me that much more excited to be going back in October to teach again - with the subject being fabric books.

As you've probably heard from many teachers...I learn SO much from the people who attend 

and come away with fresh ideas, enthusiasm and motivation up (and down) the yin yang.   

For my journal, I used ONLY materials that I collected after leaving for the airport and didn't buy anything new except for glue.  

this is MY pile of stuff - later at my son's house in Texas

Marlene is the most generous person I know and as such, receives all kinds of stuff from everyone that knows her...which she then turns around and shares with the world and I did pick out a couple items from her stash.

A lot of my stuff came from yard sales. I mean...my trips are always planned around weekends so that I can get out and find treasure. 

But by far, The best treasure I found while in Florida - was the camaraderie and love between the women gathered. Thank you all for very lovely, lively, lesson-filled days!

Create your life...

annie!
