Part One: the first 2-hour session: Explore creating layered prints with paper onto transparencies using just two stencils and acrylic paint in contrasting colors. The results will be your book pages. Then discover how to make your own beautifully patterned Washi tape which will be used to bind the book. Unfamiliar with Washi tape? If you paint, collage or love to work with mixed media we guarantee that you’ll love using your own Washi tapes in your art!

Part One Supplies: making the pages and hinges for your little book.

• Gelli plate 5″ x 7″
• painters tape white or beige
• strong carpet double sided tape
• 3 of sheets card stock, mixed media paper or light watercolor paper size each 5″ x 7″
• 3 pieces of overhead transparency foils
• 1 stencil with circles (rather small) and one stencil with larger pebbles. There is a pdf.
• file with a traceable for the pebbles to make your own from the transparency foils in the size of 5″ x 7″
• complementary colors of acrylic paint for example 3 shades of reds and 3 shades of blues
• 1 to 2 metallic acrylic paints, for example gold and copper coordinated to your other colors

Part Two: the second 2-hour session, is all about assembling our books, adding elements like doodles, packing tape transfers, and using more of our unique Washi tapes, etc. A downloadable PDF is included once you have registered. At the end of this session everyone will have all the information they need to create more of these luscious art books!

Part Two Supplies: assemble and embellish the book.

• Acrylic markers for doodling, at least black and white, if you have also some coordinated colors.
• 1 circle punch 1/2 inch for making your own faux washi tape circles any release paper (I keep all sorts of release papers from stickers) or wax paper
• clear packaging tape, the thinner the better for tape transfers.
• rub ons, stickers, little collage elements for further embellishment
• There is another pdf file, with some quotes and words for you to cut and glue (or you print it on sticker paper)
• on the same pdf as the quotes and the pebbles there is one of my own drawn faces for some tape transfer
