Supply List:
- You'll need a journal plus some basic supplies. Here's a quick video with ideas followed by a list of basic supplies. I'll bring plenty as well — magazine images, watercolors, acryllic paint, ink sprays, alcohol inks, stencils, washi tape and sandpaper to name a few. You'll have plenty at your fingertips to follow your intuition and experiment with mixed media elements.

- Basic Tool Kit: (available at Michael's or Amazon)
- Mixed Media Journal: I prefer spiral-bound Canson mixed media journals. They will lay flat and accomodate the mixed media you'll be adding as well as the thick pages you'll end up with. Get one HERE.
- 3-5 Magazines (my favorites are Where Women Create, Breathe and National Geographic; mix it up; borrow from friends, check out the thrift store)
- Scissors
- Ruler (to lay next to an image or words and easily cut without ripping into image/word)
- Glue stick or tape
- Colored pencils or markers or crayons
- Washi tape — an easy way to add color to your pages.
- NOTE: Use what you have around the house.
