.... finished I think, only every time I look at it I add a little more. I made it as a journal with plenty of space for writing and I have tried to use my own photographs and "artwork"
This is the cover,
it actually came about by accident. The letters and tree are made out of plain old kids foam sheets The cover is scrim adhered with Golden Matte medium which I am discovering makes a wonderful glue. (Late to the table I think).
This is the first page and I may still add another pocket on the cover
The card in the pocket is made from a happy swoosh and the first stamp I ever bought on my first trip to America many years ago.
A few of my favourite pages.
The ponies are a photograph I was lucky to snap and the leaves are a digital collage/
Distress Oxides on the tag (did I mention how much I love them) and the grasses are printed onto tracing paper.
Another serendipity page, a gessoed book page which I had used to make some die cuts and then used to try out some paints. Turned into a tuck spot.
End of the first signature. One of my photos and an old encaustic wax experiment plus a bit of paint play.
Just a few more.
Loved making this one, though it has taken a long time. Now for the
Book of Trees, As I mentioned I have started the backgrounds but I am finding it difficult to move on, I selected some of my photographs (who knew just how many photos of trees I have) but I want it to be something more than pictures stuck on a page so I will take it slowly and hope. In the garden yesterday.
