Images from Collage and Coptic Stitch Journal Workshop....

 Right from the start I had everyone coating something with Polymer....book board for the covers or the own papers they brought in...As usually now it is sitting down in my classes or workshops...got them hopping around.
 Serious students here....you see I've got the whip I'm cracking in the back ground and you don't see that...No really I do keep them moving forward...
 After book covers and paper were dried with a nice coat of polymer on both sides, we moved into collaging the covers with the tack iron method of fusing the paper to the surface...nice way to do it not wet glue to wait to dry.

 Marge and April here...getting the last minute piece on before the wait in line at the tack iron....

 I only have photos of morning half...got a bit busy in the afternoon as I was going around to each person...

 Nancy has a good front and back cover started with some really cool collage papers.



Here are 10 of the 14 collaged, coptic stitched journals...all 6 x 9 and ready to write in...I honestly didn't know if would be able to finish and sew all 5 signature and complete...My head was in a fog at this part of the planning I hoped it would be...and I have to give it to the student's here...they dug deep in and focused and accomplished this amazing feat....and then didn't fuss one bit....really troopers.

  5. thanks all, I'm proud for all of them...like I shared this was really challenging and gets a bit confusing but the covers went on and knots were tied and everyone walked away with their journal complete...Long day but a good long day.
