Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Illustrations by Sophie Edward

 
To begin the project I researched my chosen theme, which is Jane Austen and Regency life. I chose this theme because I have been a huge fan of Jane Austen’s work since I read her most loved novel, ‘Pride and Prejudice’. The regency period is also the time I wish I had been born in as I love the fashion, manners and life in society. Within my chosen theme I decided to look at how fashion is portrayed in society and how important it was to be seen wearing the ‘right thing’.
 
For the front of my sketchbook I made it look like an edition of Pride and Prejudice to make it fit my theme.
 




I also bought some crafting paper from Paper chase which matches my theme perfectly. I will be using the one with writing on for all of the research pages and the shiny one is just going to be for my first page.
