I had an acrylic background on a large sheet of w/c paper.

Just large brushstrokes 7 lines of colors I rarely use.

I folded then tore it into 12 postcard pieces.

 

I have never tried to do a bird, so I started.

Using the given line, I drew sort of a bird shape?

"Can you teach a travel journal class?" asked Linda.

"Yes, I think so, if my boss, Rachel okays it."

"But I'm not going anywhere?", said Connie.

"Then you can do a fantasy travel journal!"

"You can make up a destination or country."

'You can make it anything and anywhere!"

This was the inception of the class starting this Thursday.

There will be options in creating this journal,

 and variations in size, signatures and treatments.

 

Travel or fantasy journals can be made out of altered books.

Titles were not a consideration for me. I looked for thin, 

narrow hard backs to alter into future travel journals.

 

It should be fun?

starts this Thursday ...
