Time Travel Journal
In this workshop, students created an altered book journal in the form of a diary or journal honoring a person or being they admired. You can see here how the work progressed, and I have included some of my class samples as well.

| My demo pages |
The lacy page above was made by coloring with a white neocolor crayon over collage. I then used packing tape printed with a lace image over the layers below. The result looks like it was embroidered. On the left hand page above, I pasted a lightweight beige tissue onto the book page and then wrote on it with a steel nib pen and walnut ink.

| The beginning pages of a book dedicated to the Divine Feminine |
The student utilized the original design on the book pages, layering them with translucent colors, and adding text.
Delicious pages to the Hindu Goddess, Kali
Pages to Radha, consort of Krishna.
The student combined a collaged image of a pillared pool, and image of Krishna and Radha, layers pf paint, and additional images to make a luscious whole.

Beautiful journals and looks like all learned some great techniques!
Hi Serena,
As one of the students in your Petaluma class I want you to know that I LOVED THE CLASS and was so inspired by your teaching. I felt that I learned many new techniques that will be useful to me in any mixed media artwork.
More than anything else I learned to let go of my self and create... to make a mess and get my hands dirty with the process.
I went to Michael's on my way home and bought glazing medium, some nickel azo gold and Walnut Ink. I'm ready to finish the book and start another one.
Thank you so much for all the inspiration and an enjoyable class.
You're also a really nice person.
