Travel Gear

I am busy getting ready for my journey.  Here are some ideas I have been playing with:


I made a travel trunk...from core board, papers, and found items...



And a paper bag and craft envelopes book which I stenciled and filled with little mini journals to fit in the pockets...also stencilled...


Added some hair to a doll I already had on hand... one I made a few months ago who was originally going to be a Marie but she sat in these underwear until a couple of days ago when I found some wool discard from felting wool last winter which made great hair for her...


Designed a new "swallow" doll... still working on this one...her face is drying right now...

And started a map... I have the border on my tyvek base... now I am awaiting instructions to go farther with it.

I might change my whole selection of travel gear, once the fully disclosed idea and directions are sent to us!  I like many other fellow travels have just been keeping busy while we wait...
We are all so excited about our journey!


And, since it is fall, I added a fallish look to my blog... they say a change is as good as a rest... so I hope this helps!

My gosh you have been busy. I did finally get a little trunk to decorate and I got some bags and watched the how to make a paper bag video--that's as far as I've gottten--when does this actually begin? And I really like your doll--you have been working like a dervish!!

Am impressed!!! I haven't done anything yet, apart from 'discover' the box to use as my travelling case! I suppose I'm partly awaiting full instructions first, lol! Looking forward to travelling with you. Linda aka Zentara
