Another Desert Island Disc Page

I can hardly believe that I've now completed 7 of the 10

pages for this circle journal - Desert Island Discs.

This page is for Nigel.

As I was the seventh person to get his journal

I only had the choice of 3 songs - gulp!

As you can see from the photo above I chose

'The Lark Ascending' by Vaughan Williams.

Beautiful music, but no lyrics to work with - yikes!

Luckily though, Nigel had supplied a little bit about

why he'd chosen his songs so with that in mind

I got to work.

For the cover (above), I kept it simple and tried to create

a stormy sky scene with - guess what -

a single lark ascending from the clouds!

I based the inside on Nigel's story.

This is meant to represent an abandoned airfield

with lots of wild flowers.

I used Pan Pastels and rubber stamps and although

it looks more like a cultivated field, I am pleased

with how it turned out in the end.

Seven down, three to go - even less song choices to come -

lucky I like a challenge!

Thanks for looking :)
