Do good things really come in small packages? Well these tiny little glass and copper journals are jam-packed with charm and as precious as the art or writing you will put in them. Students will fabricate "from scratch" a pair, yes two, 4" x 3" glass and copper journals. Maybe you'll make one into a necklace? Give one to a BFF? Make one for the groom and one for the bride? I just love the way the vintage photo transparencies look with the metal but the images on the front and back covers are entirely up to you, just bring 4 transparency images 2"x3". As you construct this smaller version of my original all-metal binding and book spine, then attach the copper and baroque swirled glass covers with beautiful brass hardware, you will be learning glass cutting, alteration of metal with torch and patina, hardware, hand tools, simple metal fabrication, wire wrapping, basic book binding terminology, and lots of other cool tricks!
