Hello, Hello! Jena here! This 8 Questions Art Journal Series includes 24 mini prompts that will build up a gorgeous booklet and point you towards your most important questions. You can take the prompts as quickly or slowly as you'd like. (Use a hairdryer to speed the paint drying time if you want to leap along.) Tag me in the iMusea app or email me jena@musea.org with your progress! I'd love a peek at what unfolds. xo Jena
