Don’t you just love bees? They represent industry and prosperity. Creators of honey, they help us pay attention to the sweetness of life and bring health and regeneration. Bees are also useful for enhancing protective energy, especially of the family and the home. So, what could be better than bees for a themed journal? This workshop will focus on binding this book and getting it ready for journaling. You are provided with 5 pages of bee collage imagery that you can begin working with in class and easily finish up later at home. Most materials are included in the provided kit. The student list is short and simple. You should already have most things at home. Photos of completed book can be seen at WWW.IngridDijkers.com. This class is well suited for all levels.
