Once Upon A Sketch September challenge - close-ups of my page "Horizon"

Hello beautiful peeps!

A long week is coming to its end and the weekend is waving hello around the corner! hope you are having a beauatiful spring day Down Under and enjoying golden autumn days on the other side of the globe.

Once Upon A Sketch went live with our September challenge on 1 September but as I had some other commitments going live simultaneously, I have not been able to share the close-ups of my page until now.

Here it is again; "Horizon".  I flipped the sketch once to the right having the photos go horizontally and the strips vertically.

 

The journalling theme is "Lucky" and even if my page is not about 

my husband, or the children that I am not blessed with,

 it really is about how lucky I am.

I am lucky to live in a country where there is peace, 

I am lucky to live in a country where we have an abundance of clean water 

and a free horizon. 

I am lucky to live in a country with endless woods

where the unique Right of Public Access makes it possible 

for us all to pick berries, flowers and mushrooms. 

The RoPA also allows us to enjoy the islands of our archipelagos. 

To go ashore, temporarily anchor our boat at a cliff/shore

that does not belong to somebody's private land close to a property 

or an area reserved for protected wildlife.

I am indeed blessed and so lucky to live where I do!

Ever so often I am asked to share my creative process, 
but as I am creating my pages kind of higgedly piggedly without any plan, 
it is quite difficult to do that.

Anyhow, when making this page I did have sort of a plan 
and remembered to photograph it when it was half-way through.

So here's a snapshopt for you.

The photo from the Swedish west coast was taken by a friend of mine.

Really tried to capture all the different mediums used on this but alas, they don't photograph well at all. Looks and feels sooo different IRL.

Gesso, modeling paste, gel medium, glitter, pearls, mist, glass beads gel texture, Stickles - you name it! 

The strips are different washi, fabric tape and stamping.
