Leadership Journeyman Month 3 - January 2023

 Leadership Journeyman Week 3: Jan 2023

This week's a little different because we need time to start on our leather journal project. So you have a quick quiz on:

The Symbols of America

Then the bulk of your work is going to be watching a video and gathering supplies.

1. Take a few minutes to take this quiz on the Symbols of America. Do your best! If you want to look up the answers, feel free. Or can just give it your best shot and see what you know without any help. Vanbucks for correct answers!

2.  Watch the 1st 12 minutes of this Leather Journal Video.  

Hopefully you're stoked to make these journals!  

Next week we will have a guest come and teach us how to sew our journals. 

 THIS WEEK we NEED to have our leather and paper ready.  We will be doing all the prep during journeyman.  But you need to watch and understand how to make your paper template and your leather template. Just FYI, the video goes into staining your leather, which we will not do.  But I've got lots of leather options to choose from.

Don't start on these at home.  Here's why.  You don't know the size of your journal yet.  I have lots of leather to choose from!  You need to know what leather you're using before cutting your pages.  Makes sense, right?

If you have a good sized piece of leather you'd like to use, you may bring it to class.  If not, again, I have lots to choose from.

You do however, NEED to bring your own paper.  A good stack of at least 30 pages. More if you want  a bigger journal.  You can choose any type of paper.

Cardstock

Sketch paper

Parchment paper

Graph Paper

Scrapbook Paper

Even computer paper, though it's not recommended, because it's not as strong.

You can even cut pages out of maps, calendars, or magazines to add randomly, which adds some fun pizzazz to your journal.

If you're ambitious and want to tea stain your paper, do it before class. The paper you bring to class should be ready to cut for journals!

Everyone please bring these items labeled with your NAME:

*A Ruler

*An awl

*A Paper Cutter if you have one

*An exacto knife for cutting leather if you have one

*And, as you know, Your Paper!
