At last! After much admiring of all the journal entries I see on so many sites... this afternoon, I've finally had my first go and dipped my toes into journalling waters
For the last couple of weeks I've been blotting ink from my projects onto the pages of a book (after seeing the Queen of journalling, Dyan Reaveley do this) and also trying out distress stains and watercolours on different pages. Today was the right day to try and make my first page. Isn't it exciting how blogging extends your boundaries and makes you aware of new possibilities?
Where I live, there is a scenic railway close by that goes along the seafront - A Victorian Masterpiece and a true testimony to the spirit of Steampunk. I love the sea, so, I have made a little wibbly filmstrip railway on my first journal page to contain my first journalling words.
The girl is a Gorjuss stamp, but I changed the hair. There is lots of gold detail on the original, but, it doesn't show up so well in the photo.
Most of the swirls that I used to create my plants and pebbles with are beautiful stamps from Close To My Heart and were a real joy to use and blended in with my doodling very happily.
