    I’m a new fan of yours! Bought your class today and already made some black pages and my first cutout paper collage for inspiration to make an art book. I’m new to art and struggling to find a “starting point” and boy did your class help me with that! I’m very excited to get up early and make pages! I enjoyed this video about inspiration from books as well and I’m amazed at how many pages of gorgeousness you make from one inspiration, wow.

    If you havent already, you could/should collaborate with tile companies. I bet they would love a Helen Wells line!
    Same deal for wallpaper! Wouldnt be hard for you to design and i bet youd find it an interesting challenge.
    I could imagine the last drawing you showed, blown up like a mural in some cool shop or cafe!

    Wow, before I found this video. I started to do just what you have suggested here. I decided I wanted to get the essence of what I see from the book and translate that into an art piece in my sketchbook. Love you work. Thank you for the tip.

    I hope at some point you will talk about the markers you use. I have issues with some being activated by water, or another marker. I also can’t get really clean lines if I try to use a dark color as a background, like your black background. Some tips about that would be helpful. I’m not so tied to a particular brand but the type of the base make up of the markers. Some marker pigments seem more intense than others.

    Great idea Helen. It got me thinking to take out different Pages from my collection of 2 years of the Magazine Country Living, put the Pages two by two into see through sleeves and put them into a ringbinder (do you call itthat in English?)
