GratitudeJournalWorkshop

The Gratitude Journal

Calligraphers have the unique ability to paint with words. More than anyone else, we use our words to color our lives. Change your words and you can change your life. We will go through a series of writing exercises, some with white on white, to help us make the shift from mindless chatter to meaningful appreciation of the many blessing in our lives. We will spend time decorating the paper that will become our journal cover. Lettering plays a key role in setting the stage. We will then add painting, colloguing, stamping and many other techniques to create a paper that is very personal to you.

The second day we will put our journals together using beads, buttons, charms, book cloth, leather and more. The journal is designed with single page stitching that allows each page to lay flat for lettering. There is a hidden pocket in the back to tuck little treasures, and a covered pencil to match. Each person will go home with a lovely journal to capture the special moments in your life, the places you visit in your dreams.This is a two day workshop designed for all skill levels. No previous experience is required.
