Circus Memories

——

On the cover of this book I engraved ‘Shorty’ which is the name of the Clown it belonged to. The structure of this journal is my own design, and the pages open up to create a three-dimensional circus tent.

Made using image bundles from the Graphics Fairy Premium Membership site. 

This journal is thick and bursting with colours. It is very weathered because Shorty collected all the circus posters and flyers that had been sitting in the rain and made his own scrapbook. It is also scented with a warm buttered popcorn oil, which diffuses that typical smell of vintage funfairs and carnivals.
