I had a 16 x 20 illustration board I cut in half, gessoed (or Modge Podge) collaged, folded and varnished for the cover. I then put added some inspirational verses to the inside cover.
I have 7 x 10 mixed media paper also modge podged , painted and collaged for interior pages. I taped them down with painter's tape to keep them from curling up and to stay in place.
The colors are kind of cheerful and bright (where I want to be going) but the subject matter is dark and sad. I am using this as a way to express and heal from a loss. This represents the veil over my eyes. I can't see the bigger purpose in this loss right now but believing there is more than I can know right now to this story. I am listening, watching but have no words. Asking God to lift the veil from my eyes.
