Have you ever wanted to make something you saw once but couldn't find what you were looking for because you didn't have a name for it? Because you couldn't figure out a name for it? It feels like I've spent ages looking through junk journal videos, art journaling tutorials (which I now adore), and mixed-media journaling pages to no avail. I found some pretty cool stuff but none of it captured me the way those random sketchbook pages I would see now and again did. Rebecca's Magpie sketchbook and more importantly the techniques she teaches is exactly what I've been hoping to learn how to create. I enjoy the wide range of materials used, the numerous art mediums she practices, and the endless layering. Above all, I admire the haphazard nature of each page, which is the antithesis of perfection and my number one reason for wanting to make one of my own. I guess I'll refer to these collections of sketchbooks as a Magpie method when others happen to come across them! Thank you, Rebecca, for the stellar class, I can't wait to dive into your other Creativebug classes soon.

I’d thought it was going to be about sketching, as in drawing. But I did enjoy some of the techniques I can apply to loosening up my approach to drawing as part of my watercolor practice. Teacher obviously loves her subject!
