Mon's work in Danielle's journal

Danielle's beautiful journal has the theme of: A witch's book of mirrors.

Danielle asked for a herbal theme so I chose to journal about my current fascination with Ikaria, a little Greek Island known for its citizens' longevity.



Herbal teas are drunk frequently on the island and I have been experimenting making my own mixtures with what I have on hand from the garden.


 

I kept my palette quite restricted and muted to go with the vintage theme.


The pages came together quite spontaneous and without much planning and I enjoyed working this way.

    Beautifully done. Isn't it funny that some pages almost make themselves!
