Art Journal Workshop available for Pre-Order!

Hey, remember me? I’ve been absent from here lately because I’ve been working so much. On what you ask? a new book! The Art Journal Workshop. And I just noticed today that it’s available for pre-order on Amazon. That’s very exciting for me, because working on a book is a LOT of work. And it’s a really long process. So to be able to see that it is becoming a real thing, and no just a figment of my imagination is fabulous!

With this book, not only did I write it, create the journaling exercises and the journal pages (that go with the exercises), I also filmed myself working, and took step-by-step photos of the journal pages in progress. I learned so much from the process, and the whole time while working the exercises, I thought about how lucky I was to be able to do this.

I filmed myself working because the book comes with a companion DVD. It has time-lapse videos of me doing 6 of of the journal pages in my journal. That way you can see how I use the different mixed-media materials, and problem solve as I’m working. The whole book is set up to be like taking a visual journaling workshop with me. The first part of the book covers various mixed-media materials that I use when I work, and it also discusses how to prepare a book to use, and how to create your own images using different types of cameras. The rest of the book has 20 different journaling exercises. These exercises go beyond the surface of just creating an artistic page in your journal and help push you deeper into self-discovery. It’ll be available the beginning of May.
