Hello All.
I thought I'd try and join in with Elle of Empire of the Cat's August Journal Challenge. It's been going for a couple of weeks, so I decided I'd start with Elle's Day 13 prompt of 'Relax'.
My favourite way to relax is with a good book. I've been reading a lot lately, with the weather being so hot.
I made myself a junk journal to work in, using collage fodder, envelopes and junk mail for my pages, with a cardboard cover.
The music sheet page already had blue paint on it. I added some torn teabag paper, doll images from a magazine, then some hand-drawn books and my stamped words.
I've loved reading books since I was very young, Enid Blyton was my favourite author back then. Nowadays it's Jojo Moyes, Victoria Hyslop, Diana Gabaldon, Ken Follett, Barbara Erskine, Kate Mosse, amongst many others.
I'm also linking my page to Chris' When We Were Young theme at Art Journal Journey.
Thanks for visiting me today,
Alison
