Where do I begin?

Week 41 in my

Mellow Kraft
Journal.

A new month means a new theme

from France Papillon,

which for October is

roots.

The first art journal prompt was

where.

I know where I was born,

but I did not grow up there,

so do not know the place where I was born.

I do not have anywhere which feels like home,

so I often experience the feeling of not belonging,

which gives me a welcomed sense of

freedom & independence.

A new month also means

a new design focus.

Week 40 in my

Mellow Kraft
Journal.

The art journal prompt

this week from

France Papillon was

purified.

The image of the lady

is from Kasia Avery.

The other images are from

the Graphics Fairy.

As the COVID 19 virus begins to

spread once more within our country,

I took the opportunity to visit my parents,

before restrictions on our freedom of movement

are reintroduced.

The aim is idealistic,

but we should try,

shouldn't we?
