At the end of November
author Beth Kempton
offered a 7 day wellness challenge
based on her extensive research
of the Japanese wisdom of
wabi sabi
As I have been focusing
on Japanese design principles
throughout 2020,
I thought this would be
an apt project to end the year.
I have taken her words
& Thought for the Day,
to create my own keepsake,
to which I can refer
as & when I need to.
The journal is 5½ x 4 inches
with a kraft card cover.
The first topic was
simplifying
&
beautifying.
I have used a Paper Doll
& Pocket Card
from Tim Holtz.
The background image
for my journal card
is from Shawn Petite.
I have also used ribbon,
photocorners
by Paperchase,
gold spotted tissue paper
& printed text.
