Round Two. Welcome to the Circus

I have always loved the circus. 

When I was growing up, the circus and carnival used to come to town every Summer. I think it is partly the memory of the anticipation and sheer wonder of it all that fuels my enjoyment of all things circus today. 

In order to further wallow in these memories, I have chosen vintage circus as my theme for round two journal swap. It is only a small journal with two signatures and a pocket at the back. I have put some 'admit one' tickets for everyone to include on their page.  Either use it in the background or somehow really creative. 

Please keep the colours a bit muddy in the vintage theme. 

Feel free to draw or collage or both. 

If you are stuck, check out the early part of the movie "Water for Elephants ". I love that film. Sad but so beautiful. If you are not movie fans, think of the strong man, the merry go round or the prancing ponies.  

I even love clowns. 

I hope you have fun

Faces and Figures is ready to be launched on its journey around Australia.

Well I have made another journal. It is a pretty simple one. 

Just some watercolour paper made up in to two signatures and stitched together with a Kraft card cover(an old drawing from a Tafe course I did over 11 years ago, great recycling!)

Here is the cover. it is 19 x 26cm so will not be too bulky or expensive to post. It has an elastic to keep it closed.

And here is a page inside.

I have created two pockets on the inside cover and included some stencils and masks that you can choose to use or not. Have fun!
