Hi there! I’m Einat Kessler, fellow crafting fanatic and the teacher, author and project developer behind this eBook.
I’m also a former diplomat (really!), lover of French fries and mushroom and onion pizza, wife to a very patient engineer and mom to two boys.
I created this eBook because I believe that words are one of the most powerful and personal things you can put on an art journal page, and yet so many crafters feel unsure about how to use them. I wanted to show you that there is more than one way to add text to a page, and that every single one of them can be as expressive, intentional, and beautiful as the art beneath. I hope this eBook helps you say what you want to say, in your own words, in your own art, in your own voice.
So are you ready to Make expressive pages in your art journal?
Not at all! These techniques are designed for every art journaler, regardless of your writing or lettering skills. The focus is on creative approaches to adding text, many of which have nothing to do with perfect handwriting. There’s something here for every style and every level.
Any words that matter to you – quotes you love, personal journaling, short phrases, titles, dates, or single words. The techniques work with any language, any message, and any length. This eBook gives you the tools; your words supply the meaning.
Absolutely. Every technique in this eBook is designed to be adapted – change the coloors, materials, and approach to match your own personal style. These are techniques that work with your art, not against it.
The eBook is delivered as a PDF file that you can download immediately after purchase. Use it on your device for easy access to video links, or print it out – whatever works best for your crafting style.
Each mini album design in the eBook includes a direct link to its video tutorial. It’s recommended to use the eBook on your device – phone, tablet, or computer, so you can tap the video links quickly while you craft. You can also print the eBook if you prefer to have it on your desk.
Yes but it’s not recommended. Because you can’t access the links to the video tutorials on a printed version – you can only access them digitally.
That’s the best part – you can DM or email me at kessler054@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
