Altered Journal - Week 1

This is my take on the Altered Journal in week one of the Creatively Made Workshops by Jeanne Oliver Designs.  The processes are fabulous and learning a lot along the way.  I have had this completed for a little while and am slowly working through the other tutorials as time permits.

The journal is 12 x 8 1/2"

I used an image from Dover Publications which was part of one of their weekly samplers.  Increased the size of the image to suit the journal and printed in black and white
