Create a Nature Notebook!

Gather inspiration from the world around you by creating a Nature Notebook!
In this class we will each decorate and personalize a notebook with a hard front and back cover. This pocket sized treasure (3x4 inches) will include an index of drawing ideas, pages for pressing flowers and leaves and an envelope for other small treasures. Many artists and Scientists document their observations and questions on a regular basis, use this book to heighten your awareness of the world around you. There are so many things you can do with a nature notebook! Collecting is just the beginning.
As you can see, these notebooks can be a wonderful learning gateway and can be created easily by the beginner. Nature journals do not need to be perfect drawings and watercolors. These books can be as creative as you would like them to be. I have a plethora of materials for you to work with. We will begin with a ready-made blank journal.
You can focus the entire notebook on one theme, such as "My Summer in Alaska," or "A Nature Study of my Yard," or even a "Leaf Print Notebook." For a leaf print notebook, you could press flowers and tree leaves and add them right into the notebook. Label them just like you would a drawing. You can also do leaf rubbings or paint the leaf and print with the leaf.
nature items, leaves, flowers, photos, ect

I am a life long learner, and always recording whats going on around me. Recently I began practicing taxidermy and have been incorporating these themes into my art work. Making books, writing in books, sketching and drawing in books is a specialty of mine. I will show you many ways to utilize your Nature Notebook.
