Sanctuary - Mini Junk Journal

This page was a map with a bird on it.

I so wanted to keep the bird but short of

tearing paper scraps & sticking them all over,

I had no idea where this page was going.

So I left it a while & did other pages in the journal.

Then I had an idea & came back to it.

This is actually page 6 - Sanctuary.

I thought the outlines of all the torn text

pieces looked like old castle walls or some

similar old building.

So I used PaperArtsy Fresco paints to

colour them using several greens, browns & grey.

I then added more colour to the bird & gave it some

sort of nest/ ground material. 

I fashioned the arch rather too perfectly

for real life, but it could really be

a small window in a castle.

I used my Inktense pencils to add further colour

& to highlight the "stone work".

Finally I added a sentence & some words from

an old RSPB magazine. It was an article about

birds seeking sanctuary in the urban cities of UK.
