A Victorian Times Journal Cover....

Image
Hi Dear Friends, Hope you all are doing well on this day. I have been working on a journal cover lately and so far very pleased with the way it is turning out. I am so very fond of the romantic side of the Victorian era as well as the many vibrant colors of that period. If you research the Victorian homes of the day you will find they would paint their homes inside and out vibrant gorgeous colors. One of my favorite style of homes were the ones with gabled roofs, ginger bread carvings of intricate detail. A victorian home on the outside could be painted with three or more different colors. My journal cover emulates the vibrant colors of the Victorians and celebrates the beauty in their lives that surrounded them. Their gardens were also vibrant and alive with vintage Roses, Lilacs, Foxgloves, Delphiniums and Poppy's. Tell me what you love about the Victorian era.....there is so much that they contributed to our world and we still to this day use man...
