inspiration avenue challenge - wish ...

ah ... it's been a long time since i submitted an entry for IA's weekly challenge. this week i felt i could do some crafting again and since i haven't been using my right brain for some time now, i thought to get my inspirations back by visiting my very talented frens at inspiration avenue :) of course i also needed some catalyst to jump-start my crafting engine ;) and what better catalyst than the weekly challenge!

wish ... lol!! i've wished for many things in my life ... and dare i say all of them unpractical and otherworldly! more of wishful thinking than wish i think ... *contemplates* ... well, i haven't changed much this time round ...

dare i wish to travel to a different place and time?

and when i do ... perhaps i can document my travels thru space and time in this handbound journal of mine ...

if i got lost, would this compass etched in stone direct me home?

and when i finally complete it's last pages ... dare i say that i've lived a life fulfilled ...

wouldn't it be great if a time and space machine really exist?


LOL!! let's get back to reality :) i had fun making this mixed media journal and weaving stories about it! it's a little larger than what i use to make, and i think 5x7 inches is a rather good size. the techniques are the same as my mini ones ... the pages are handtorn and made from recycle brown paper, the signatures are handsewn to a soft leather spine. the covers are actually mdf boards and the compass is made of air-dry clay :)

i hope you've enjoyed that :)

happy pimping! :)
