The Creative Dyary has proved so popular, With sell out classes, that I've decided to do a part two. Whether you have already attended a previous class or are totally new to it, there is something here for you.
We will be adding lots of new techniques and there will be a plethora of new products to play with.
I have always had a thing about cards - angel cards, tarot cards, playing cards. I think it's the fact that they are so tactile and easy to hold in the hand. They can stand alone or you can use them as embellishments in your journals. Spend the day with Dyan creating your own alphabet deck. After decorating them with various ink and paint techniques, we will be stamping and collaging. You'll be given examples of quotes or you can bring your own to create a personalised set.

This workshop is first of its kind as it spans 3 whole days!! Yes you heard correctly, we will be creating all day Friday as well as Sat and Sun. Wine and Pizza night has moved to Sat where we will have time to relax and journal together (optional 5-8pm)
I was going through some old old journals and came across some that were all handmade, even the pages and it got me thinking how much I miss that style. So that's what I'm doing, going back to my roots, and taking you with me!
We will start on Friday with all the prep involved in making up the pages and covers - this could get messy, so you might want to bring an apron! Saturday we will start the decorating using paint techniques, layers of stencils and borders galore! Then moving onto collage. Where to start? What to use? Where to position it etc? Sunday is all about the finishing touches, the quotes, the doodling, the putting it all together - phew!
This weekend is recommended for those of you who have taken a journaling weekend with Dyan before, specifically learning her background techniques (Attending previously Dylusions 101 or Beginner Journaling Weekend are a must). So that you all start with that bit more knowledge and understanding of the products. We will spend less time on learning the techniques and more time on creating finished pages in the square journal. A blend of inks, paints, collage, writing, doodling, imagery, a touch of sparkle and a pinch of oomph!!! Get a few good nights sleep before as it will be a whirl of creativity.
