Day 3 - Making the journal covers with your dyed textiles and putting together the signatures
Day 4 - Making snippet strips to bind the journal, decorating the journal, bonus lessons & finishing the journal.
I'm Robin!
Thank you so much for taking my class, TO DYE FOR! I've been teaching some form of creativity for about 20 years at many venues that have included cozy home gatherings, quilt shops, bead stores and National art retreats. I've also been published many times in artsy magazines and books and through it all I still love teaching and creating. It's part of my soul and every fiber of my being and I bet it is for you too.
I hope you have as much fun dyeing your textiles as I do. Creating and dying textiles brings so much joy and surprise and allows for your art to be completely different from anyone else . Use your new textiles to dress a doll, jewelry or follow along as I show you how to make a journal. Now let's use our gorgeous velvet, lace and trims to make a sumptuous journal!
