I'm so excited to announce my next upcoming online class. I'll be co-teaching with the wonderful Rachel Denbow of Smile and Wave.
What is 'Tell Your Story?'
Tell Your Story is a six week art journal class. Elsie and Rachel will share a personal art journal page with a challenge or fun technique each day (7 days a week, for all 6 weeks!). In addition to the daily pages, we will share tips and tricks for creating six unique art journal books that are sure to inspire!
Meet Your Teachers
What started as writing notes on pretty magazine pages in high school has since become one of my favorite ways to document those easily forgotten details that make up seasons of life. Art journals have been a safe place to test new ideas, reflect, list random details, and get a little poetic and I'm thrilled to get to share some of my favorite prompts and techniques with this class. -Rachel
I've loved art journaling for the past 10 years. It's a wonderful 'just for me' hobby that I am looking forward to (finally) sharing with a group of students! Art journaling is my favorite therapy. Most of my journals focus on simple memories, hopes and dreams. There is also plenty of room for vulnerability in these books. Pages that explore doubts and fears have been a part of my personal growth through the years. I'm looking forward to six weeks of fun prompts, personal challenges and getting messy with pretty supplies while learning more about ourselves! -Elsie

I cannot wait!!!!!! Sooooo excited! Elsie, I was wondering if paying with credit card through the RVA site is possible. I don't have a paypal account and have paid this way in the past. Just want to make sure because I can't miss out on this class! Thanks!
