Silence can mean many different things to different people … for me it means silence of traffic and people with the poplar leaves rustling in the breeze, whispering summer, summer, summer …. this page is a spot in our little park that silences all that traffic and you can feel the difference. The tree and grass were created with torn tissue paper, the background is water colour crayon and I also added a bit of scrap paper for the tree line.

November’s journal page for the Art For the Creative Mind Yahoo group is all about generosity whether it is lots of hearts or other generous thoughts you may have. I chose both. Lots of hearts on my page along with the fact that you can find generosity if you go and look for it, whether thoughts or deeds they are all about us. My textures for the heart were a map, a dictionary page and a handwritten page, all symbols of ‘looking for something’ and to finish them off I embossed transparent dragon flies onto them. They always amaze me with their flitting from one thing to another as they ‘look’ through their little world.
