Can I tell you how amazing it is to walk into a studio and there on the table are stacks and stacks of Pam Garrison's handmade art journals!!! (I wish I took a picture of them) It is like you are in a candy store and don't know where to begin.
It kind of takes your breath away! And the best part is... she lets you touch them - and hold them - and look through them - and admire them - and even take pictures of pages if you want - like seriously - who does that?
Part of me didn't want to even work on my journal when I was in class with her because I knew that when it was over I wouldn't be able to see her journals again. I wanted to relish the moment!!
Not to mention the wealth of knowledge Pam so generously shares like what her favorite pens, markers and paints are, what colors she loves, what paper she uses, how to bind a journal, how she fills a page, her process and on and on.
There has been rumor that she will be offering an online class in the near future. I highly recommend you follow her everywhere you possibly can. You will not be disappointed!!

Pam's handwriting is so beautiful I couldn't resist asking her if she would write my name for me on the art journal I was making.
The following are pages from my finished art journal.
There is no doubt the inspiration came from spending so much time admiring Pam's journals.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this hand painted bag for sale that Pam had painted. I kind of snatched it real fast and kept it close to my side.
