England Journal

I'm working on a few book projects at once, which is slowing me down from getting very far on any of them. My England journal is one which is going particularly slow, but I think I finally have a grip on it. At the very least I have the essential ingredients for this one

• Archival book with black pages (which I prefer over white)
• Ephemera from the trip including train tickets, receipts, museum guides and numerous pamphlets and brochures from exhibits, the bookbinding class, field trips, and library excursions
• Digital images, which I still need prints of
• My WAY OUT decal

I must note here that I dig the Way Out signs in the subway. Not "exit"... just "Way Out." It's so exact. And it makes me think of the Flintstones episode when the aliens come to Bedrock and sing "Way out, WAY out. Up in the sun it's WAY out... " Dianne and I sang it while we commuted. So there.

• Photo corners
• My UHU glue stick
• Lots of book and manuscript illustrations and pictures
• A moleskine full of hotel horror stories, sketches of British things, phrases that I found terribly amusing, a rant about missing Ricky Gervais, and oh so much more.
  

I would like to find a nice balance between words and mixed media. I love writing and I can't do an artist journal without actually journaling. Glad I kept writing while I was over there. In between eating all those Kit Kats and hotel hoping I'm surprised I had time.

In any case.. I came, I went, I scanned. Stay tuned.
