More ancient history - with fossils

As I think I mentioned before, I am having a massive clear-out.  I keep coming across all sorts of pieces of work stashed away - some I think 'wow, I've certainly moved on from that' but some I still quite like.  The other day I found this little book I made from coloured papers on a bookmaking workshop day.  I was looking at fossils at the time so I filled some of the pages with fossil pictures.  It still has rather an unfinished feel to it so I shall put it back in the box just in case I should be inspired to add more to it one day (so much for the clearing out!).

What's missing is some drawing I think - although the papers themselves are rather too dark to draw onto... hmmm....

  1. I found a fossil in our garden a few week's ago - bizarre! I canNOT get my head around anything being that old.

  2. I've always had a thing about fossils, they make such a good subject matter and seem to easily be incorporated into any media form. Love that little book
