Faux Midori



I used some art canvas sheets, added all sorts of mixed media stash to them and then stitch them together to create my own midori-style journal cover. I found a nice little note book for 99p to go inside and there is room for more, so will be keeping my eyes out in stationary shops for another notebook bargain. The first journal page was created with the Art Journal Journey's challenge of 'things with wings' and I am also going to enter it into a new challenge blog called Mixed Media World with their 'anything goes' theme.

    Great idea Clare. I've got a big roll of canvas in my craft room just crying out for this sort of project. Love your journal page too. Got me thinking. Where WOULD I fly to? Lx

    LOVE LOVE LOVE! This is everything that is good about the neon colors of the 80s smacked on to a journal cover. It's so funky and graphically amazing.
