Little Book of Secrets Class with Nancy Lefko

I had the joy and privilege of taking my first class with Nancy Lefko last week at Ink About It and it was a delight!



 The class is called "Little Book of Secrets".  It is an all day class in which we learned how to make tiny 3" by 3" books using a canvas on either ends to make a collage style book.  Here is what we had to look at for samples:

Closed book with Elmer Glue technique
Open book with Vaseline technique
Interior of Nancy's book when it is fully extended, just one side

Here are a few shots of the classroom and what some of the students had created.  It was wonderful!








This is one of my two little books, neither are completely finished to my satisfaction but you can see part of the process.



If you ever have the chance to take one of Nancy's classes I would highly recommend it!  I know if I ever have the chance to take another with her I'm definitely in.  I didn't feel at all rushed and felt free to express my art by using my personal favorite colors, etc.  It was great.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today.  If you have time please leave a comment, I would love to hear from you.  Take care ~ Renee
