Aloitin pari vuotta sitten "Kaamospäiväkirjan" selviytymiskeinoksi pimeästä vuodenajasta. Se on käytettty kirja, jonka sivut olen maalannut mustalla gessolla. Yhdelle sivulle tein nyt tämän pienen kollaasin, jossa kultainen valo paistaa oman kodin ikkunasta.
Collage Obsession's challenge theme for this week is "Darkness". The dark season has always felt very depressing for me, but this autumn I have in some strange way learned to like darkness. If you can't beat it, it's best to learn to love it. Darkness can in fact feel quite safe as well, like something that embraces the whole world and makes it slow down and be tranquil.
A couple of years ago I started a "Black journal" as a means to survive the dark season. It's a used book whose pages I painted with black gesso. On one of the pages I made this small collage, where golden light shines from the window of my own home.
Voi, miten synkästä pohjasta tuli ihanan ystävällinen ja luokseen kutsuva. Hieno oivallus toteuttaa teema näin. Tykkään.
VastaaPoistaToi ikkuna on niin ihanan positiivinen pilkku tuolla...kyllä se kevät sieltä vielä tulee ;o)
VastaaPoistaLovely piece. Simple, yet dramatic.
VastaaPoistaDarkness used to bother me more when I was younger, but now not so much. I rather like the coming of the evening when I can button up the house with my husband and I cozy inside. Dinner and reading late into the darkness. Then a cozy warm bed of flannel.
I guess I am quite a 'nester'!
A wonderful journal to keep, thank you for the challenge. Cheers
VastaaPoistaSo simple but says so much about the darkness. I love this.
VastaaPoistaI agree with Jeanette so simple but so potent...beautiful work!
VastaaPoistaI love the idea of a Black journal. Darkness is a very interesting subject.
