October Art Journal Pages

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..

Art Journaling Article

Sometimes..

When I sit down to journal...

and I begin to write on the page...

I realize that it is all about me...

All About Me, Caterina Giglio, in Somerset Apprentice 2017

and in April 2015..

I just owned that thought..

I decided that since I was writing about all the things

that I was dealing with at the time..

that I would simply embrace that thought...

and found a way

to represent myself...

and illustrate the idea..

that there was no wiggle room..

it was all in black and white..

I am very grateful to

have the opportunity to work 

with everyone at 

Stampington..

They are so lovely to work with..

and again, I am in great company..

I hope you can

pick up a copy to read about how I created this

spread...

Ciao, ciao!!
