I’ve participated in Lifebook several times and one of the best parts is discovering new teachers whose techniques and styles you fall in love with. Many of them have Etsy shops and you know I love supporting Indie Artists.
Treasured Memories with Nellie’s Creative Touch
ONLINE CLASS tutorial instructional video fabric book class by artist Nellie Wortman
This is such a sweet gem of a book. It fits in the palm of your hands. There is something magical about being able to hold something this small.
There is something to be said, for holding a piece of art that you have created, that captures the memories or moments that you wish to revisit time and again.
In this class Nellie will teach the following:
- How she creates a book this size
- Her thought process, in creating and choosing the items within this book
- Adding paints and inks, to create the looks on the pages
- How to sew the pages to the spine and create the fabric looks
- Create a fabric wrap

Angela Kennedy Art
I actually became aware of Angel’s work from her Instagram @PennyStamper because she was taking the same class as I was and I found her via the hashtags. I instantly fell in love with her style of girls. You can recognize them immediately. In her Etsy store she
offers original art paintings, illustrations, art postcards, prints, stickers, and magnets plus online art classes you can do at your own pace.
This class is on my list to take.

The painting at the top of this page was done by me in Laly Mille’s Soulful Abstract class. All of her courses are wonderful.
Karen Elaine Creative
Karen is an amazing artist and teacher. Her mixed media pieces come after years of being a TV and online art instructor.
This is an original mixed-media collage on cradled birch wood handmade by Karen Elaine. All of the papers in the collage are hand-decorated. The back side of the piece has a hand-lettered quote sealed with varnish for durability. It is 6″ x 6″ x 1″ and ready to hang on the wall or give as a gift.
She offers both products to make art like the stencils below as well as printable downloads. Check what she’s offering now by clicking here.
Tina Walker – Frog Dog Studio
