What's your mantra? Express your unique words or mantra using art journaling techniques in mixed media. Learn how to size them for a box or bind them together. The demonstration will include creating monoprints with a gel plate to create backgrounds and texture, embossing for a faux wax finish, and using rust to create color and patterns. Add layers and borders, blend, or create a focal point for each journal page.

It is a powerful statement or slogan repeated frequently, which can be considered a seed to energize your intentions or used as inspiration to start the day.
