Back into the Wilderness

Here's a recent art journal spread of mine - I made this spread to de-stress, and didn't put much thought into it before, or during, the creative process. I still like how it's turned out, though.

I punched holes in the covers after adding the plastic wrap, and used the covers as templates to mark the corresponding…
