I hope to watch in the morning and later in evening - anything is better than tv. And there’s all day Saturday to catch up. And like you, lots to do in January.
There’s also MLK day to catch up.
Also been checking email for schedule and supply list…

I still haven’t seen a schedule but did find this link for a basic supply list. It has grown since I looked at it a couple hours ago so I think it’s being actively added too. Seems pretty standard though - mixed media paper, watercolor paper, book binding kit, posca pens, glue stick, ink pads, xacto knife & cutting mat, water colors, acrylic ink, double sided tape, and spray bottle.
Thank you!!

Thanks for that.
I don’t know any of those names, so I wonder what they are going to be doing. I might check their YouTube. If anyone knows them from Instagram, tell me what they do (I’m not on Instagram)
If you scroll down this link there’s a list of the teachers and their media of choice, etc
I know some of them from YouTube
Carolyn Dube - gel printing and lots of color
Shemii Dixon - mixed media stuff
Kristin Peterson - mixed media
Tiffany Goff Smith/SouthernGalDesigns - mixed media
Kiala Givehand - book making
Liz Constable - book making & natural dyeing
I’m happy that there are some new to me artists. I think this will be fun.
Not sure if I’ll actually use it for tomorrow but I just made myself a little book (I think technically my first ever completed book?) using the videos she provided in the registration email. I used 9x12 Canson mixed media paper torn in half for the pages and one of the Canson acrylic papers I painted for October Fodder School for the cover. It was really fun and surprisingly quick to make. I sense another obsession coming lol.

I am finishing mine tonight - I made the 2-signature book.
Kiala Givehand had a series of videos on YouTube about 8 or 10 years ago called something like 52 Weeks of Books. That’s how I learned to make books. Also SeaLemon on YT has easy bookmaking tutorials.

Thanks for that @geekgirl and@photojenn
That book looks great, it’s definitely a gateway book. Book making is great and there’s nothing buffer than working in handmade journals. I use one all the times, everything from stuff I need to get out of my head, shopping lists, projects I’m working on, art journaling, it’s not breast and tidy like a bullet journal, it’s more a snapshot of my head. When I finish a book, I date it, do a table of contents for the start. I’m amassing a collection. These are all full, one is covered with fabric I’ve dyed and printed.
You could do amazing ones with your hand woven cloth for covers.

Anyone on the session (Artsy Meetup Marathon)? I joined a bit late so joined right as it was going into the first break. Looking forward to jumping in when they start back up.

Yay! I’ve been on since it started this morning and Edel is on as well. It’s been really fun so far, very freeing to speed art.
This has been so much fun so far! Most of my pages are a hot mess but I’m having a blast.
Loving these little tree pieces, but now I “need” to buy some shimmery watercolors

My book for the marathon - about 6 x 6”
Intentions page - not finished
And the second lesson from Tiffany Goff Smiith
This so fun! I’ve been on since beginning but I need a shower and food!
(The cover on my book is Art by Marlene scrapbook paper. And it’s not sewn yet - using a hair tie for now.)

Lovely!
Full disclosure- I am skimming thru January Fodder school lessons on my phone while keeping the marathon on my iPad.
