I haven’t worked in any of my art journals in quite some time. I’ve been kind of obsessed with sewing lately. But today I was inspired when I saw the new theme of Autumn over at Art Journal Journey.
When I think of Autumn, the rustle and crunch of leaves comes to mind. Memories of shuffling my feet through the leaves alongside the road and jumping into piles of raked leaves abound.
Warm colors and abundant texture dominate the landscape.
I love this kind of page… I used to be afraid of white spaces. Now I embrace them on my pages. Negative space can be quite powerful.
Brilliant journal spread – love the colours, and the texture, and the contrasts. Thanks so much for joining my challenge at AJJ, hugs, Valerie
This is an amazing spread – absolutely perfect for autumn and I love the poetic words in your post as well! Thank you very much for joining us at AJJ with such a fabulous entry! I am thrilled about the colors and contrasts , the textures , the arrangement and of course the white space!!!
Happy new week Halle, have to scroll if I can see what you came up with lately. I want to sew as well – but no time… why does time fly by so fast
This is gorgeous Halle. I love all the paper layering. Feels like autumn to me. Hugs-Erika
I think the colors are gorgeous against the white, and I love your composition here. It would be an autumn page even without the word. Nice!
This is an INCREDIBLE entry, Halle. Your art is getting better and better each day. I’m in LOVE with this one, including the white spaces.
I love your pages. This is my kind of style and the idea of journaling the sounds is brilliant.
WOW these pages are great.
You really are on a Autumn roll (would you like catsup or mustard with that LOL! both warm colors too HAH…sorry couldn’t resist)
Your torn papers and the way you have patterned them across the pages really take the eye on a cool trip. Brilliant use of white space and your plaster looking background really appeals to me too

I love this double journal spread, it’s very effective. Great colours and texture.
