| "Over the Edge" An Instructional Guide for Going Over the Edge |
| "An Octopus's Garden" |
| "De Corporis Humani Fabrica" |
| "Into the Crypt" A tunnel book |
| You’ll delight in this journey into the realm of Alice that takes us through the Rabbit-Hole in tunnel book format. This sturdy book with wooden covers and boxboard pages is sure to hold up to the riggers of many adventurous journeys. All imagery to complete the book will be provided and is offered in either color or Black and White to make the book of your choice. An on-line tutorial is available to prepare pages prior to class, so that precious class time doesn’t need to be spent on a lot of prep work. |
| "Butterfly Book" |
| "Through the Rabbit Hole" A tunnel book |
| Workshop description - This class will focus on SteamPunk imagery and elements that can be easily incorporated into our journals for a uniquely different and often quirky result. Sometimes outright strange effects develop that we are sure to revel in. Of course we'll include our favorite SteamPunk creature, the Octopus (just because we like them). Ingrid's book "An Octopus's Garden" will be available for viewing with examples of how to add a SteamPunk feel to our journals with just our regular journaling supplies, SteamPunk and Octopus imagery, items we probably already have on hand and discarded box board. |
| Workshop description - A delightfully creepy exploration into the world of vintage anatomical illustrations! Our main focus will be on completing a collage cover for this journal complete with “specimens” and glass slides. Then we’ll work on incorporating additional backgrounds and imagery into our journal pages. This journal will be made in the wildly popular chipboard binder format. An on-line tutorial is available to prepare pages prior to class, so that precious class time doesn't need to be spent on a lot of prep work. |
| - Workshop description - A delightfully dark and mildly creepy tunnel book. Pages and pages of cleverly designed layouts using vintage imagery draw you in on to this basically black and white somewhat macabre journey. Imagery provided is black printed on buff paper, but color can easily be added if desired. Based on a late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the “Dance of Death” unites all. The Danse Macabre consists of the dead or personified Death summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave. Produced to remind people of the fragility of their lives and how vain were the glories of earthly life. This could be a great project for the Halloween season although none of the imagery is Halloween related (sorry, no pumpkins or witches), but you could easily include your own. |
| A charming Butterfly Book that can be used as a journal or just as a sculptural piece that stands on it's own. Size is 6" tall X 6 1/2" wide |
| Workshop description - We’ll work on getting those pages to "pop" (no one likes dull flat pages) and make the edges of those pages sizzle (gilding on steroids). This class will help us break away from the traditional rectangular shaped page. We’ll explore ways of developing and making other shapes for pages giving our books more dimension and interest. The importance of the often neglected edges of pages will also be emphasized and worked with. Ingrid’s book "An Instructional Guide for Going Over the Edge" will be available for viewing many examples. It displays a plethora of possibilities using materials we all probably already have on hand. |

| "The Twirly Swirly Journals" |
| Here is a little sneak peek of what I am working on, “The Twirly Swirly Journals”. As the name implies, these journals are full of just about anything you can imagine that swirls and twirls. Elegant, a little bit girly, but above all, unusual and slightly quirky, this series of Journals will get your head spinning with more and more ideas of how you can add a new dimension to your journaling. We’ll start with a basic pre-made hard bound book construction, collage the cover, bind it with a simple binding method, work with lots of fun twirls and swirls by adding fold out pages, quotes, text and other fun oddities using provided collage sheets. I’ll be bringing lots of swirly rubber stamps, templates and stencils to work with and to top it all off we’ll add a plethora of beads, trinkets and baubles that dangle from the spine to finish off this delightful journal. Already scheduled to teach this workshop in May 2011 at Whispering Woodlands in beautiful Verona, Wisconsin! Hope you’ll join us! |
