My journal page , inspired by the work of Laly Mille, captures for me, one of my favourite books. "The Secret Garden", by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
I have always been entranced by walled gardens and wonder about the hidden stories that gardens could tell from years gone by.
This piece is a fusion of magazine cuttings and my own painting. total fantasy as you can see and topped off with the little robin that guided the girl in the story to find the key to the secret garden.
The paint is all PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk.
So, this is my monthly entry to A Vintage Journey Blog Challenge which is all about Books.
This is just so beautiful and very clever my talented friend. Xx

ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to see these artful garden themed pages! I love how you've incorporated the magazine cuttings with your fabulous artwork. Hazel, your art journal pages really speak to me! I love that book, and it's title always brings to mind my late 'second Mom' who had a florist shop called The Secret Garden where I worked while in college.
