Tiny Brass Art Journal

This morning I sat on my balcony drinking my warm cup of coffee.

The air was cool and there was that all familiar smell of oranges.

So with pen in hand I started to sketch what it 

meant to me to be home.

"My Happy Place," popped in my head. 

Then I started writing and drawing what my happy place is.

After filling a page with words and small drawings I suddenly had the 

urge to make an art journal.

Before this morning I had never made a book. 

I went on line and googled book binding

 and tought myself who to bind a book.

I wanted the cover of my book to be brass so I went to my metal stash

 and found a piece of etched brass. I  then started sketching and asking myself,

"What do I want my book to look like and 

how am I going to put each piece together?"

When you have a desire to know how, find a way to learn how.

You will be amazed at how much you really can do if you try.

My Tiny Art Journal is finished.

Now I have a sweet tiny 2"x2" book to put all my

"Happy Place" thoughts into.
