That's why I like to use them in my art journal. I find phrases and use them out of context to create new meaning. That's how this page came together.
The title phrase, "...for I am going away", reminded me of my own journey. Leaving the comfort of a nest that I had built for more than 40 years.
A fitting phrase from an entirely different book.
I found an image and traced it using tracing paper. Then I hand painted it.
I used a dry brush for the background and a piece of a cardstock border as a stencil.
I drew the cloud freehand from a book page and added a little ivory to integrate it.
The inspiration phrase from a vintage children's book.
I'd love to hear how you have used books in your work.
