Our most recent member’s challenge!

Chosen by one of our members, Julie Carr, the Yeovil Creatives were invited to make a unique response to one image/ idea. The group worked from a photograph of a library bookshelf in the home of the Bloomsbury group Charleston House. And so we have a selection of ‘book-shelfies’! What does your bookshelf look like?
