MIxed Surfaces Journal: Part 2 Mini Workshop

This month is part 2 of a 3 part workshop about creating journals with mixed surfaces.  The ideas are presented in a 44 minute video using Photoshop CS5.

In this part of the workshop we will take a look at the digital element to combine with your papers and fabrics you painted in the part 1.  The video for this part of the workshop contains ideas to get you started thinking of the types of visuals you want for your journal.  I show some of the ways I create digital prints for my pages.  It is not a photoshop workshop, but a cursory view of manipulating some files for printing.  This information is intended to be food for thought, or you could use these actual ideas with your images.

Contact me with any questions about this workshop.
