harry potter mini

I have been working on a mixed media project for quite a while and finally it's finished.  I have been making a Harry Potter Book for Isobel.  I have mainly been working on it at night when I can't sleep so it has taken quite a while, many, many hours work but I am happy with it and glad it's finished.
It's a bit hard to show all of it in photos but you get the idea...
I wanted it to feel like it was the scrapbook of a Hogwarts student, a girl who has a crush on Harry.  So it has Harry stuff in it but it also has other stuff in it like witch's fashion, spells, cards and witchy ephemera...



I do wish I could work faster when I am doing a lengthy project, but I get tired and achey so easily so it's a bit of a process, but I enjoy it, I love it in fact
There are 3 pages with brown paper bags glued on to them and they are full of all the cards and bits and bobs....







I want Isobel to enjoy it and add any other Harry Potter ephemera she might have or witchy stuff














time to start something new now....
