Hours Not Days!

Hi Everyone! I've been counting down for weeks, and it's now only one more sleep until our daughter arrives back in the UK. The house is clean, the fridge is full of salad, fruit and beer, so I did some art journaling in my little 6x4 inch book.


I collaged some music text and partial teabags, covered with gesso, added 3 more teabags, book text circles, lots of doodles with Posca Paint Pens, and some text from A Midsummer Night's Dream.



Until next time,

Alison xox
