Personal Art Journal

I started this particular art journal a few years ago and it just became a part of my bookshelves.... blending in with the numerous other books. I placed it on the shelves to begin with because I grew tired of the project.

I did not make any changes to the cover that I had altered previously.

 I loved this image from a magazine and added the quote I had saved - both from long time ago.
