1. The Singing Ringing Tree Fat Page - back, 2. Garden Journal,
3. Volume 2 page 31a, 4. looking forward to spring,
5. sugarsnappeas, 6. Everything has gone green,
7. Fabric Paper, 8. Plans and Big Ideas!!!, 9. Day in the Garden

These are pics found on a hunt for Garden Journal inspirations, over at dear flickr.
Something about each of the pics appeals to me, and I am warming up to getting on with creating my very own Lovely Garden Journal. The on-paper version, which will likely be translated to onscreen version somewhere along the way too.

My big thanks to the generous gardening artists at flickr.
Click pic for larger version of the mosaic, and click the links to go to each pic,
and to the sets and pools thereafter.

While sleuthing, I found a link, via this pic, to this good page of Garden Journal-ness.

I'll look again at my copy of Mixed Media Nature Journals.

And I'll have another peep at my ole fave, Derek Jarman's Garden.
I love that book. It helped me dream well of having a Proper Garden, when I had only tubs of trees and pots of plants braving central London with me.
And now we all breathe easier here on the UrbanRural fringe of Norwich, I feel a little celebratory artistry coming on through...

Today a big golden DragonFly visited and stayed for Quite Some Time.

I don't think I'm quite awake this afternoon...

What a gorgeous garden journal - I must take a closer look as I am busily preparing one for a commissioned article - don't worry, I never copy other people's ideas but do find they often inspire me. I was told about your blog by a friend in America and will follow it from now onwards. (And I was only looking at LK Ludwig's nature book this morning!)
