Tiny sacred art journals...
a self-guided workshop
six plus hours of instruction.
In this workshop, I share with you the joy & peacefulness I find in creating these tiny altered art journals from bits and pieces of things we have around us.
I created my first tiny art journal from a piece of wet & weathered cardboard found on a walk.
Since then, I look at all types of cardboard as a base for creating textured & layered tiny art journals.
A tiny box, a vintage coaster, an old cardboard photograph...all of these make a completely one of a kind art journal.
I am so excited to share my process with you here.
Material list:
- curiosity & wonder
- a smallish cardboard box
- any type of dense cardboard
- masking tape
- clear packing tape
- a needle & thread
- bits of old paper, letters, envelopes
- a glue stick
- white paint
- color (watercolor, colored pencils...any type of color)
- a very thin point marker
- fabric and lace (these can be bits of your old clothes or clothes of someone you love)
- things found on a walk: feathers, branches, bits of metal.
- clothespins
- a wide open heart.
We can work on these little journals anywhere.
We will tell stories using thread, found objects, things we save, and bits of our clothing & fabrics.
These are so tiny...and so inspiring & healing.

My style of teaching:
Intimate. My online classes feel like you are working beside me.
Real. If I sneeze during the video, I say "bless me please" & move on. I love discovering ideas in real time, so get ready for spontaneous bursts of joy.
Honest. What I am sharing with you is my creative process. These are the thoughts behind the work as well as techniques.
Collaborative. We will have a forum that we can communicate in the lectures. I will answer your questions both in the comments but also you will have access to a group. I love this part.
Format:
Videos "how do". Short enough to keep your attention & deliver an idea. I also love time lapse videos.
Videos "stories". These are videos where I share the story behind my journals.
Photos: Colorful, step-by-step, & before and after. I love photos.
Text: Clear, concise and so encouraging.
Links: To information or something I mention in a video.
