A Miracle of Sadness

A bunch of pages from this summer. I am still experimenting with different things and styles, trying to find something that would truly feel right.

I like these.

I am totally drawn to the fact you have covered the eyes of most of the faces.

Thanks for your comment!
I haven't even consciously thought about the covered eyes, but now that you pointed it out... I do indeed do that a lot recently. I'm sure a psychologist would have something interesting to say about that. ;)

Love the strong and varied techniques, very original too. Some of the messages were heartbreaking though

Thank you!
It shows that I usually reach for my art journal when I'm in strange/sad moods. Some of the content is partly inspired by music I listen to while art journaling... though the choice of music does seem to be on the sad/melancholy side. Also, it's been a rainy, vacation-less summer - I guess it's had an impact on my moods.
