“Would You Like To…” – Mixed Media Art Journal Page

It’s a horrible cold, wet & windy day here in South Yorkshire! We’re still very much in lockdown and most of the interesting shops are still shut, so what else is there to do but escape to my art room? At least there I can forget the weather and what’s going on outside and spend some “Me” time to create an art journal page with host of yummy colours and texture.
