New Journal

Hello All,

There is a woodland not far away from my house and I often find myself strolling through the trees. It's so peaceful and calm, I love the changing colours as the year unfolds. In autumn especially it is one of my favourite places. Taking inspiration from our little woodland I decided to make a themed journal. It has been a bit of a labour of love and I am truly thrilled with how it turned out:







Included in the journal are eco dyed papers using leaves collected from the woods as well as coffee dyed paper, ink stained tracing paper, woodland ephemera and some original little paintings of my own. The cover is from an old book I found in a charity shop which I thought went perfectly.

It will soon be going up in my etsy shop. I will be sorry to part with it but I hope it will bring enjoyment and a little piece of my corner of the world to whoever gets it.

Bye for now
