This is a workshop for the creatively restless, the stash hoarders, the "I might use this someday" crowd. Weâre making scrappy birdsâwhimsical, personality-packed creatures using paint, junk mail, scrap paper, and whatever odd bits youâve got lying around.
â No templates. No rules. No âperfectâ
â Just birds with attitude and a whole lot of charm.
Â
... Ready to Make a Flock of Glorious Misfits??
START HERE âď¸ No Templates, No Measuring, No Playing It Safe
Thereâs something wildly freeing about making art without rulers or rules.
In this workshop, youâll learn to trust your instinctsâto rip, layer, and assemble without second-guessing. No bird will look like another (thank goodness), and thatâs exactly the point.
Measurements and templates are fine⌠for blueprints. But youâre not building a shedâyouâre building a flock of quirky, attitude-filled birds that carry your fingerprints, your style, and your glorious imperfections.
This is where the fun lives.
This is where the good stuff starts showing up.
This is how you make art that surprises even you.
You donât need to be âartsyâ or precise. You just need a pile of scraps and the willingness to let weirdness happen.
Don't let perfectionismÂ
stifle your imagination.

Why Scrappy Birds?
Â
â They're bold. They're a little ridiculous. They're oddly expressive.
â They're a great excuse to pause from saving all of the scraps and bits and start using them.Â
â You'll end up with a flock of expressive birds that might not sing, but they definitely make a statement.

 đŚ Scrappy Birds Mixed Media Workshop
Because your scraps deserve better than the trash bin.
- Youâve got bins, drawers, maybe even boxes of scraps (and no regrets).
- You like your art with a little whimsy and a lot of personality.
- Youâre tired of overthinking and want to just make stuff already.
- You want to explore mixed media in a way thatâs actually funânot fussy.
Weâll be turning everyday paper scrapsâyes, even the ugly onesâinto a wild flock of personality-packed scrappy birds.
Painted paper, junk mail, torn book pages, leftover bits from your last project... itâs all fair game.
No templates. No fuss. Just winged weirdos with attitude.

No stressing or overplanning
just sketch, cut, glue, layer, and let the birds appear. Trust yourself!

Instant access to the full workshop
as soon as you sign upâno waiting, no drip content.

Pre-recorded videos in short, manageable segments
you can pause, rewind, or binge while ignoring laundry.

Step-by-step guidance with room to go your own way
without micromanaging your creativityâyouâll be encouraged to do things your way.

Lifetime accessâyou work on your timeline, not mine
so you can revisit the class anytime your paper stash gets out of hand.

Make art youâre actually proud of
not because itâs perfect, but because itâs yours.
Want to know why THIS class is different?
Letâs be honestâthere are a lot of classes out there that look great on the surface⌠and then sit in your inbox, untouched. Or you start with big plans and fizzle out halfway through.
THIS ISN'T THAT!
This workshop is designed to keep you movingâwith short, engaging lessons, zero perfection pressure, and quick wins that build momentum.
Every part of it is made to spark ideas, not drain your energy.:
â Youâll feel inspired to start because itâs playful.
â Youâll feel motivated to keep going because youâre seeing real progress.
â And youâll actually finishâbecause itâs satisfying as heck to watch your quirky little bird army come to life.
This isnât about mastering a technique.
Itâs about making art youâre excited to show off, stick in a journal, hang on the wall, or mail to someone who needs a smile.
If youâve struggled with âcreative follow-through,â this class was built with you in mind.
Imagine what it will feel like:
- To sit down with a pile of scraps and actually know what to do with them.
- To make something weird and wonderfulâwithout needing a sketch or a plan.
- To trust your creative gut instead of second-guessing every piece you glue down.
- To create art thatâs full of personality (and maybe even a little attitude).
- To feel proudânot because itâs flawless, but because itâs completely, undeniably you.
What would it be worth to you, to feel creatively inspired and proud?
