"If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden."
from "The Secret Garden"
Hello to All!
I hope that all of you are well and those of you in the Northern Hemisphere are beginning to see the classic signs of spring…new buds and blossoms on trees, nests, eggs, and baby birds, flowers determinedly pushing their way up through the soil and, of course, warm sunshine!
When I was planning a project for Spring/Early Summer, I immediately thought of the children’s book, “The Secret Garden”. If you have read the story, you know that it’s not a gardening book at all, but instead, a book about friendships, hope, and healing.
The themes that are repeated through the book…connecting with nature, encountering hope while surrounded by the beauty of the garden, overcoming disappointment and loss, healing of the body as well as in relationships, rebirth, finding happiness, and developing deeper friendships…all seem to be so relevant to today. Wouldn’t you agree?
So, I decided to take my inspiration from that classic piece of literature and apply it to an artistic, hand-created memory art journal. Please allow me to introduce my version of The Secret Garden!
If you are a gardener, you will thoroughly enjoy the flowers, birds, bees, etc.…all perfect for your gardening stories and pictures. If you don’t really get into gardening that much, this book creates perfect backdrops for stories about family, friendships, celebrations, personal growth, healing, and overcoming hard times.
There are some really fun creative elements included in this album…hand made flowers, a fabulous origami folded accordion book within a book, a whimsical and dimensional hand-stitched dandelion (so fun to make!), and, as always, lots of layers and textures created with fabric, wood, paint, paper and other media. There are also vintage flowers, millinery velvet leaves, and a vintage pearl spray included in each project kit.
You will enjoy the beautiful turquoise and spring green colors featured throughout…all pulled together with a weathered vintage vibe.
If you’re looking for a great project to revive your creative spirit, if you need something bright and beautiful to inspire hope, or if you’re just looking for a fun and happy way to express your artistic self, you will absolutely love this hand-made journal.
