Student Work from Life Book

As you might know, I'm part of the huge art journaling online class, Life Book.  Today I thought I'd share some of the beautiful work that students from that class created in response to my lesson.  My lesson was all about turning negative words into something beautiful.  Literally.  This is the page I taught students to make:

And here are some of the student pieces that were posted on instagram (I used the instagram embedder for these photos, so if you don't see them, click HERE):

I love that we are each such unique artists.  It always amazes me how everyone can start with the same instructions, but end up somewhere different.  That's personal style for you!

It's not too late to join class.  You can sign up HERE and still get all of the lessons from all of the teachers (they're downloadable, btw).  

Thanks for stopping by!
