MY BOHO GYPSY CARAVAN

 
Come travel with me in my
new
"Boho Gypsy Caravan"
gluebook...
:)))))))))))

I'll let you peek through the window 
to see what's going on...;)))
*************
When we were first married and
pretty low on funds, Tom and I
went tenting and camping for
our vacations...
We never did get ourselves
a "caravan" but have always
wished that we had....

So when I began  watching 
and following "Kristina's Shack"
on YouTube 
and saw 
her CARAVAN 
mixed media journal videos that
she and her YT friend 
"Sylvia D" are
making 
I fell down that proverbial
RABBIT HOLE
;)))

********************************
I got so fascinated with their work,
and so enjoyed watching their
videos,
I decided why not 
[make and]
take a Caravan journey 
of my own?

SO....
I drew my own caravan shape on
an old manilla folder and
then fabri-tacked  the outer
covers with fabrics..

Above is the back cover
which I haven't decorated as yet.


 Here are the reverse  sides 
of each cover below
↓↓↓↓
All the inner pages will
be paper of some sort:
watercolor, scrapbook,
leftover bits and bobs for
the bases...

I made two Suffolk puffs for the wheels
and am connecting the pages  with a
binder ring...
that way
I can remove each page 
when I want to work on it...

I can tell you that 
the circular window posed
quite the challenge for me...👹

Both Kristina and Sylvia 
gave each other prompts,
some of which I will borrow;
but mine will be more of a 
memory journal of places 
we've visited when we
were younger....

I hope you will follow along as
I take a walk down our memory lane
and visit some of my dream
places, too....

Hugs on a rainy day,
