For the 12 week Creative Stretch, here's some ideas about what to have on hand to work in your journal during our live demo sessions:

Note: If all you have is a journal, pen and some colored pencils or markers, that is ALL you need. Fancy supplies are not necessary. We encourage you not to buy anything new but use what you have on hand.

• A journal
• A pen you love to write with
• Art supplies - acrylic, watercolor, markers, pencils, crayons or whatever colorful supplies you love to play with
• Collage supplies - collage bits, magazine images, handmade paper, glue stick or matte medium, scissors, washi tape, etc.
• Stencils, stamps, tools for mark making, hotel key card or gift card for scraping paint
• Paint brushes in different sizes
• Wet wipes
• Zentangle® supplies - black Micron pen (or other fine tip pen you love), pencil, smudge stick

Be sure to join us on October 23 for our hand made journal class where we will be sharing more about what supplies we love to work with. You can still register here: https://sso.teachable.com/secure/1197096/checkout/4240549/the-creative-stretch-season3
