Visual Journal Entry #12

As mentioned earlier, this is the 12th one.

I like the easy tone of this visual journal entry, the purple color seems to dominate the elements in this spread. It becomes a pivot for which all colors and images rests. Even the fashion of the woman borrows a lot of color from the purple strip. Upon closer look at that strip, it is like the feathers of peacock, fragile but a feast to the eyes, it has rich colors within its tiny thin streaks.

Still, the mild coffee color strip of thicker volume looks sturdier and it lends a noticeable background. It supports the two white squares which usually bears the written message in a journal or in a letter. A smiling cat sets the mood. But we can see some jar, time tower, scale and a parcel package scattered across the whole canvas. The flowers are giving some vibrant color in this rather dissolved in white feel spread.

It was originally designed as a get well soon card for someone. And it is in that someone's possession right now. So, this is the first visual journal entry that I gave away.

Anyways, healing is something that comes in the right time, if we have the right medicines, right frame of (happy and content) mind, if we read and feed our soul with the right healing words and if we let the flowers of life continue to bloom and flourish, then we are in our journey of healing.

Perhaps, the purple strip is like the water that supplies the healing power.

Have a good day my dear readers.

Treat yourself well

Visual Journal Entry #13

The mysterious, mystical, incomprehensible number 13

Okay, a little back story, I have already done visual journal #12 and upon checking, ooops I haven't posted it in the blog yet, it then reminded me of how busy life has been since -ber months started.

Anyways, I am supposed to post a new visual journal today and upon checking, whoa, it is the 13th visual journal already. So, I will post the 12th visual journal after posting this 13th visual journal. It will become a back to back post for today!

So, here it is the 13th visual journal.

You can see that it is the same woman in visual journal #2, but it was a different surface. In visual journal #2 she was in the A5 notebook spread, but now in visual journal #13 she is in a 13x20 cm card stock, seemingly framed in a transparent oversized postal stamp, somehow lending it the notion that it is for sending, for going away, like a parcel that needs to be sent from a source point to its destination. Our lady holding the flowers deep in thought, showing just a little of her face is journeying again, this time leaving the heavy A5 notebook that housed her before, she is in a single card stock, ready to go with lesser baggage.

The moon is above her while her feet is lightly touching the earth. Aside from a bouquet of flowers, she is holding some kind of document, perhaps a map or perhaps a detailed journal of what she needs to do, who knows? Her eyes are hiding, she is difficult to read but as usual her steps are confident and full of resolve. Note, the jar of flowers on the upper right part, she has preserved some flowers inside a glass jar. The black and white flowers, wildly perched on top, level with the moon looks otherworldly. Where is she going? The mystery remains. Much like the number of this visual journal.

By the way it is full moon, my loves, so keep the light shining.
