Faces, Laces & Hidden Stories: Layering textures & images in art journals
You’ve collected scraps, fabrics, images — and a quiet longing to create something deeper.

- Afraid of “ruining” your journal pages.
- Unsure how to layer without it looking messy or forced.
Longing to create pages that feel alive, mysterious, soulful.
Whispers in Veils isn’t just another mixed media class.
It’s an invitation to step into a new identity — an artist who knows how to weave fragments into layered stories, who trusts intuition, and who embraces imperfection and transforms it into beauty.

✨ Techniques You Can Take Anywhere
Master a Universal Language of Layering & Texture
Once you learn these methods, you can carry them into every creative project you touch:
- In any journal you already own — handmade or store-bought.
- With any focal images that call to you — portraits, butterflies, birds, florals.
- Across other mixed media projects, collages, or artist books.
While my own journal features veiled portraits from TaylorMade Journals on Etsy, the magic of this class is that you’re never tied to one style or set of images.
By the end, you won’t just hold a single finished journal. You’ll hold the confident ability to infuse every future page you touch with layers of meaning, texture, and whispered story.

Do you ever feel like your true creative spirit is hidden?
Like there’s a deeper, more intuitive artist within you, waiting to be revealed—not all at once in a blinding flash, but slowly, mysteriously, layer by layer?
You aren’t just making a journal. You are answering a whisper.
This isn’t about learning techniques.
It’s about becoming the kind of artist who finds magic in the imperfect, stories in the scraps, and profound beauty in the veiled spaces between what is seen and what is felt.
You'll walk away with
This isn’t just about learning techniques. It’s about becoming the kind of artist who:
✅ Creates journals that feel alive — layered, tactile, mysterious, full of depth.
✅ Feels connected to your own inner voice — every focal image you choose holds a hidden reflection of you.
✅ Finds freedom in imperfection — embracing drips, burns, rips, and raw edges as part of the beauty.
✅ Works with time, not against it — learning to let journals grow slowly, like living companions.
You’ll leave knowing this truth: 👉 There are no mistakes in art journaling — only layers of story.
🌸 Why This Journal Will Feel Different
Unlike other art journaling classes, this one isn’t about rushing to a finished spread.
It’s about…
- Whispers, not shouts. Pages that conceal as much as they reveal.
- Layers that tell stories. Each veil, lace, or cluster holding meaning.
- A journal that grows with you. Something alive, personal, and deeply yours.
This isn’t just a class. It’s a way of seeing your scraps, your journal, and yourself differently.
The inspiration behind this class
When I discovered these veiled portraits, they felt like a mirror of this understanding: beauty present and alive, yet partially concealed. Working in my journal became a way of exploring this mystery — layering, covering, and revealing, just as life itself does.
This is the spirit behind this Journal. While the pages are my personal exploration, I invite you to take these techniques and make them your own. Whatever images or symbols you choose — faces, butterflies, birds, or simple fragments of paper — they too can hold whispers of what lies just beyond the veil.
Hi, I'm Debasree...
… your guide on this art journal adventure!
After a decade in the IT corporate world, I returned to art and found healing in collage — the quiet joy of bringing fragments together to create something whole. It became a way to slow down, listen inward, and express without needing words.
Since 2016, I’ve taught art to nearly 20,000 students worldwide and led 700+ in-person workshops. My classes are gentle, tactile, and rooted in the belief that creativity should feel calming, soulful, and deeply personal.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or simply looking to reconnect with your creativity, I’m here to guide you through an experience that nourishes both your hands and your heart.
🌟 Imagine This…
You flip through your finished journal.
Every page feels alive with textures, veils, and whispers.
You didn’t just “learn techniques.”
You are someone who knows how to layer meaning into art.
Someone whose journal isn’t just a book, but a mirror of hidden stories.
Someone who no longer fears imperfection, but welcomes it as part of beauty.

You Have a Choice to Make.
You can scroll away and let the idea slip by. The blank journals will continue to wait on your shelf, untouched. The scraps and images you’ve saved will stay hidden in a drawer. And that familiar feeling — of wanting to create but not quite knowing how to begin — will still be there.

You can take this one small, creative step. You can choose to become the person who layers fabric, lace, and paper into something meaningful. The person who gives old scraps a second life, who turns images into whispers of story, and who finally holds a journal that feels textured, soulful, and alive.
That person is waiting for you on the other side of this page.

You’ll have lifetime access, so you can return to the lessons anytime and create at your own pace.

It depends on how much time you spend, but most students can complete their first Whispers in Veils journal in a weekend or spread it out over a couple of weeks.

A Final Whisper...
This journal is not the goal. The techniques are not the goal.
- The goal is the person you become while creating it.
- The one who listens to intuition.
- Who sees stories in scraps.
- Who isn’t afraid to burn, drip, and layer their truth onto a page.
The goal is you, unveiled.
