Journal Spilling

That's the name of the course I am taking today at Journalfest 2010. It's being taught by Diana Trout (Diana's website). She has written a book by the same name and we are going to learn some of the techniques from that book.

According to the class description, "today is all about working in layers: spill writing, color, collage, acrylic and textile paints, gesso, portfolios and collage fodder. Gesso will be smeared and scribed through, portfolios scribbled. Ink may be splattered, pages ripped and glued back together in this process-oriented class."

We have also been warned that the side effects we may experience following this class are: "a sense of freedom, flights of fancy and joy."

Sounds like fun, don't you think? :)
