Scottish Wanderings

——

Scottish Wanderings is a celebration of the wild and beautiful Land where I live and work.

The richness of these 40 pages comes from the variety of elements used, from old ephemera, to photos of kilted boys and girls, nature finds and crispy, fragile paper scraps all combined into a chunky book.

Made using image bundles from the Graphics Fairy Premium Membership site. Scottish Wanderings contains feathers, flowers and petals, image transfers, many marks and pockets to house photographs and tiny journals.

It’s a sculptural object, brittle and fragile, but also wildly powerful in its strong imagery, just like Scotland. The book is also scented with essential oils, so it increases the experience of a woodland travel with moss and flowers.
