Handmade Junk Journals

journals ready to be sewn and decorated

One of the pages in the junk journal.

Fabulous old music paper!

This week I had so much fun teaching a class on junk journals.

11 women joined me at a local library to make these fun books.

I was actually nervous the night before -- it's been a while since I taught.

I was worried about the supplies I'd chosen.  A silly concern!

What a gracious group of students.

They used what I provided in their individual unique ways.

While I don't have the venue to do this on a weekly or even monthly basis,

I sure would love to!

The kits I provided to the students

A sample page I made

Below are the fabulous pages my friend Mandy made during class, using the kit from class and a few items she brought with her.

Mandy is a wonderful artist in her own right and it was really fun that she signed up for the class and came out.  I know she inspired many of the other students.
