CLASS MATERIALS
I encourage you to use supplies you already may have, you really only need a few things to begin, and as you find other items they can always be added at a later date, which is the real beauty of it.
- You will need some type of glue, PVA is great, or modge podge or acrylic medium.
- Some opaque white paint; white gesso, gouache, even household emulsion will do.
- A selection of paper and card. A cereal box or similar, brown paper, lined paper, packing paper, printer paper, any paper can be used to form the pages of your journal. An old notebook can be repurposed too.
- Muslin fabric
- Calico, Linen, Sheeting (a fine natural fabric works best)- maybe you have something old that can be cut up?
