Thanks Camilla...
I went charity shop browsing, in search of a little inspiration. I came away with a few nice little books, my favourite of the bunch being the 99p, "A Pageant of Modern Verse" first published in 1949, this copy being from 1959. It comes complete with faded spine, margin notes (think it was a school book) and the smell that only an old book has. Looks to have once been owned by Camilla, so whoever she is, I have her to thank for my current source of inspiration.
I have decided to work my way through the book and hopefully make some nice pieces of work using the poems as my starting points/guide.
Below is my first attempt, for the first poem of the book (also below) entitled "Enter these Enchanted Woods".
It is a collage of magazine bits and pieces, think I'm going to do something else with it now, not entirely sure what, but I don't think this is the end product just yet.
