South Coast Explorers Travel Journal


Just lately we have made a couple of camping trips to the beautiful NSW South Coast. I decided to pack a few art supplies and try making my first travel journal. It was a challenge using just the very few materials I was able to bring which included glue, paint pens, pencil, gauche paints, and watercolour pencils. I added some collage found along the way in tourist brochures. The background of all the pages was done before leaving home using acrylic paints and bubble wrap printing.



Below is how I imagined myself whilst swimming in the sea.





We were all attacked by disgusting leeches - hence the blood suckers below.
