1924 yearbook journal

I spent the weekend painting this kingfisher with my inktense blocks.  I can see that mine has a big head but I used artistic license.

Went back in with the fern stencil and added inktense on top of the rubbed out background.  Love that ferny jungle.

My grandson came over the other day and told me he lost his journals in a flood!  We combined our ideas and made him the coolest journal ever!  He knew how to sew the binding, so we used a spool of antique variegated fishing line for the thread, and I was saving that cigar box lid for a special project.  Grandpa even helped by drilling the holes for us.  What a fun project.  I tried to talk him out of it when we were done.
