OOAK - Artist's sketchbook/art journal - Lighthouse theme.

 
This is another recycled/mixed media 4x6" art journal - images, writing pages, sketch pages, and watercolor paper. Many papers are unique, and OOAK. Images collected and selected and put together in this journal. The cover shows vintage images, and although not of lighthouses, it shows how much lighthouses were valued - angels to the ship captain lost in a storm.

This journal was done by private request, so it's not available to purchase. Images are old and new, papers are old and new. Some papers are over 100 years old. A fun journal, for sure!
