Journals to the People: White Orchid

Getting this journal ready to send out to consignment at Nevermore Creations Marketplace.
 
5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
92 pages front and back




The cover is a piece of mixed media art based on a 12" x 8 1/2" sheet of decorative scrapbook paper layered with collage, paint, stenciling and texture paste. There are 2 layers of cardstock plus a layer of Tykek along the spine for support.

There's a lot of collage through out.

Plenty of room to write, draw, and glue more stuff down.













I included 3 of my 100 Day Project notecards.
