I had a wonderful walk around a small part of the grounds at Blenheim earlier in the month. I went into Woodstock to start with and had completely forgotten that the fair would be there. It was wonderful to see the galloping horses outside the church and museum.
I have used my entry ticket to the palace grounds as the cover for notebook forty. It has cotton rag paper pages.
I walked through to the formal gardens at the side of the palace, where there are fountains and statues.
Then along to the rose garden, which is a large circular garden with arches carry roses around the perimeter.
I went back to Blenheim yesterday as it was such a wonderful bright sunny day. These are the photographs that I took.
I have been having a good sort out of my art materials including painted papers. Notebook forty-one has been made from one of those finds. The base is newsprint that I used to protect the table when painting, it has been embellished with oil pastels and pen. Then I have machined on vintage fabric and painted lace. The piece was then machined to thick brown paper also uncovered! It is 2.5 x 3.5 inches with torn cartridge paper pages.
Wishing you all an enjoyable weekend.

Gorgeouse rose arches, I'm fond of the secret garden at Blenheim.
Wow, you captured some great scenes there. I especially like that gate or whatever it is, the wrought iron work. Also love your fabric paper, lovely colors and good use of your supplies.
Great set of photographs and I love that gate too. Your bookcover looks like an inspirational use of creative moments.
