Alpha/Dictionary Challenge 2016 : G

When I saw the letter was G for the Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary challenge I just had to choose Geophysics because this is what I do for a living. I doubt anyone else will choose that word!
The dictionary definition of Geophysics is the physics of the earth and my plan was to create a collage of images that represent the exploration end of that huge topic because that is what I know.

Unfortunately, my printer has broken so I have resorted to a few sketches on tracing paper and some images from a magazine. I think I've managed to get a selection of things represented on the page and I must say, the seismic section through the earth adds a nice bit of colour in the background. It is offshore India in case you are wondering.


I had fun with that even though the pages didn't turn out exactly as I had originally planned.

Happy Easter Day everyone x

    Wow Julia! Great word choice and career! I think you might be right in choosing a word no one else will choose. Dang printers anyway! LoL. But you've really made a great spread here and most interesting as well.

    Personal experience always add interest to a page, good choice! The tracing paper is a good thing as it allows the dictionary to show through.

    I think it's very safe that geophysics will be unique to you! A very clever choice and good improvising :-)

    Certainly not a word that sprang into my mind when thinking of my word for the challenge! A clever bit of improvisation making an interesting spread in your dictionary.
