Jenny Grant retreat weekend.

 Collage, art journals.

This weekend,  I joined the Jenny Grant free online weekend retreat.  I watched most of the classes but only got around to making a few of the projects.  It will take me the rest of the week to try the others out.

The project I did manage was to make small art journals out of one sheet of A3 paper which was fun.  I used old art work to make my journals.  Jenny used a piece of card which she had glued paper pieces to before folding the journal.  (There are videos on you-tube explaining the folding process.)

I managed to do a page spread in one of my hand-made folded journals using Jenny's instructions: paper collage,  stencils,  and then acrylic paint to work on 'found' imagery.  And so I produced a sketchy scene of a girl and a monkey.  A theme I love.

Hope you are well.

Bye from Susie and June!!
