I made 4 small books in Julie's class today. This journal entry began as two sheets of Saunders Waterford 90lb watercolor paper, cut to twelve 8"x10" Pages, painted acrylic colors, and foam stamped throughout. Cut the pages down to four manageable folio sizes. Will add some collage inside. Very happy with today's class and results, and shared much needed long overdue creative time with good friends at Westbeth. #artjournal #balzerdesigns #saturdayartclass #bookarts (at Upper West Side)

I just turned to a new page in my journal and found this! A quick sketch by @balzerdesigns done during her awesome Go Big class in Byron Bay earlier this year. I wish I could do it all again, but I'm grateful for the fun little reminders. #balzerdesigns #artjournal #junquejournal #artjournaleveryday
