Description
***I do adore layouts with non-bright colors or tones...There is a different feel & tone about them...I packed my page with neutral beiges plus white...black & a bit of grey...and in my more typical style of Art Journaling Page...with Lots of WA ...made to illustrate my ongoing subject matter...all about my Grief...I often refer to myself as torn or ripped apart by grief...& in my heart too...Neutral tones also,I find,give way to more dramatic shadowing to differentiate between...all those neutral colors...that just need,at least to me,more obvious shadow separation...so each one can stand-out...on it's own...as each one should...and made even more dramatic by adding as many textures & layers as you feel...they are needed...to encompass the look you are trying to achieve...when you are filling-up your own scrapbooking page...***
***Thank You! Everyone!!!...***

* [I wasn't sure which Designer's Gallery to post this layout in...It's just about a 50/50 split for each one...for pieces...And,I could only pick one of their galleries to post the layout in...] *

I love the neutral tones with the b&w which lends a somber feel to the layout. That torn photo along with your title really set the mood for the whole. Wonderfully expressive. Congrats on the GSO too.
 
Oh my gosh, this is absolutely fantastic! Congrats on the GSO, so well deserved!! I am in love with the neutrals and your fabulous layering! You always blow me away!
 
@mlpieters Thank YOU! very much!!!... :heartlub ...It's always appreciated...to be included in The Gallery Standouts [Fingerpointing] ...Especially,when it's a layout that's so utterly personal to me...
 
Rhonda, sister.... I had to make a HUGE effort not to include you in my GSO post last night..... honestly, you are one superb artist, you know I always loved your pages bit it seems like you have grown in some depth in the year I have been away.... I know the going through the painful situations we go through can sometimes help us make a channel through the art..... oh God, how I hope you did not have to be suffering this grief, but I am 100% SURE, Ralph (if I am not mistaken that was his name) is watching out for you, and I am sure he is in a better place.... he lives in you too, I know how difficult it is, I wish I could do something from there....
This page is spectacular!!!!!!!!! glad Lauren GSOed you and Jennifer took this into the Froggy Faves!!!!!!
Love you!!!!
 
So incredibly powerful, and such a strong example of how your design choices and convey the message. A very well deserved GSO. Sending you lots of love x
 
Rhonda, you do know that you can post to as many galleries as you want?
Can';t now (fingers going numb and need to finish what I started!) , but I will write tomorrow to explain how to do it!!!!!
Hugggzzz
