Student Level: Beginner as well as all levels
Type of Workshop: Project/Process
Prerequisite: None

With this new journal format and a love of books, entomology and journaling combined, I'm delighted to offer "The Bug Book". This is sure to please the beginner as well as the advanced journaler. The imagery used in this Bug Book has been compiled over several years as a result of a love for entomology. After many years of journaling, I have found the Binder Format to be the closest thing to the perfect journal yet. But now rather than a standard binder we'll start with old hard bound books that have been fitted with new binder mechanisms. You are provided with enough entomology collage imagery to make a multitude of journals pages and add on collage packs will be available The student supply list is short and simple and you should already have most things at home.

Will most likely not complete in class, but will leave with skills and confidence to finish up at home.
