New theme…….

 

I’m starting my first “themed” journal!  Since I’ve spent so much time lately in my garden and creating fun projects with fruits and vegetable….I decided my theme should be nature!

Starting off with one of my Farmer’s Markets photos of carrots trimmed with marks from a leaf stamp I carved.

Then I added a watercolor sketch of one of my favorite lawn chairs and that I bordered with the saying “ Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished”……..

Also, started drying some rose blossoms in silica gel crystals and air-drying hydrangea flower heads . 

 

 

I plan on incorporating the dried flowers into my journal in some fashion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are pansy blossoms that I placed between two pieces of paper and then pounded with a hammer to make these prints.  I’m excited to use them in this journal, as well.

I’m looking forward to working on this project!  I’m starting now while the flowers are still blooming, the produce is abundant and soon the leaves will begin changing into their beautiful fall colors……all the things that make my heart sing and should make for some outstanding journal inspiration.
