An online summer Journaling class you shouldn't miss!!!

Kira writes,

Artistic Alchemy is an 8-week online workshop striving to answer the question,

"Who are we as journal artists?"

Instead of offering the newest techniques or offering specific journal prompts, this workshop will dive deeper, mining the raw, creative ore that is your True Self and turn it into expressive, personal, and beautiful journal pages.

It has been my experience that we can see something new, something exciting, yet have no idea how to use it. I remember looking at other journal pages wondering HOW they were created...not technically -- I knew layers and paint and such -- but CREATIVELY. How did that journaler SEE those IMAGES? Know how to EXPRESS her/himself through such awesome color, composition, and beauty? I struggled to find that VOICE inside myself that would take me on that same journey.

I hope to guide you on such a journey, one that, when you're started, will help you when you sit with your journal, that emotion or thought or even those new photos yearning to come through, do so.

This workshop will be conducted via email. Discussion and photo albums will be through the Journal Girl mailing list (you'll need a Yahoo! account). Class materials will be distributed via email directly from me. By the end of the workshop, you will have a full-color "workbook" meant to help guide you even after we're finished.

Artistic Alchemy begins June 2, 2008.

This journal page entitled, "Letting go gives you wings", was created by Jeannine P., a member of the journaljunk group! Just one example of the inspiring, expressive and unique pages you will see in the journaljunk photo pool.
