Our photographs are marvelous ways to make our art journals unique, authentic and rich- and our very own.  Maybe you are like me and have thousands of images stored on your computer, cds, and external hard drive? Perhaps they are languishing on camera memory cards?  Let’s get these images out of the digital closet and onto our journal pages. In this live version of my highly successful online class, we’ll learn techniques to work with the images in ways that are high touch and not high tech.  I will give you specific instructions as to how to choose your images and we will be doing journal work around those images.. This class will be rich and meaningful. You will love the techniques you learn and will enjoy using them in your journals.
