That cold north wind does blow..
and
it seems to me that
Autumn is truly a season
of the soul..
the old crone
calls to us all ...
and change is evident everywhere we look..
I sometimes resist change..
I imagine most of us do,
preferring what we know to the unknown..
change always seems so scary..
and yet I feel it in my bones..
Change is inevitable and in the air..
like the swirling leaves..
and the twisting branches...
What is harder is knowing and
intuitively feeling it..
but not knowing what exactly is coming..
so my pages look
a bit ominous,
dark..
and again, I wanted to create the feeling
of wind..
the winds of change..
that bring new seeds of growth..
I hope you feel the drama..

Yes, captured the mood, the wind and the feelings of change...Autumn!
I always love it when you add fabric to your art journal pages. I can see how you used the various mixed media pieces to create the energy behind this spread. Even the texture creates a bit of drama. It's a wonderful October journal entry.
je me sens bien dans ton univers, semblable au mien...biz
You definitely captured the feeling very well in your journal spread. The textures and colors are perfect.
Oh yes - I can feel the drama and it looks just AMAZING with the details - just adorable is this spread and this special blue and all the little extra details makes so much visual interest and beauty! I am looking forward to the video - I love that you share your techniques with us and I really like to see you - you are a wonderful genuine person to teach - !

This spread really makes me want to look at it forever, Cat. I don`t know what drags me so much , but maybe the movement in it , the wind . Blowing violent around us, and not always with changes of the good, in this old world. Beautiful colors, and texture , I love your tree, still standing through years and years of changing !!
So stunning, dear friend.
Hugs and xx- Dorthe
