Art journal Page - In The Arms Of An Angel

  4. Beautiful new page Rach, really beautiful. As always, love all the details.

    Funnily enough, I've been planning to do a page inspired by that song too. My Dad died in October last year, and while it wasn't one of the songs at his funeral, as a personal favourite I've listened to it a lot since. Getting into art journaling/mixed media more this year has been helping me a lot so far. Thank you for the fantastic videos. :)

    1. Thank you Marijane - It wasn't recently, but those we have lost are never forgotten. Creating little reminders of them in our art is a nice way to remember them with fondness :-)

  8. I have tears in my eyes Rachel. I miss my dad so much-he's been gone over four years. I feel him near me every day. I know he watches over me. I love your art so much but you really struck a nerve today. Thank you for all your amazing videos. It's so good to see you back so frequently now. I hope this makes sense. I'm full out crying now. Hugs from the USA.

  9. I love the colors you used on this page and the message is beautiful. I lost my dad almost 10 years ago but everytime I think of him its like yesterday. The times I almost pick up the phone to call him or forget for a split second because there's something I want to show him are very much fewer and far between now, but he will always be the man I look up to more than any other and the one I want to be proud of me. I'll always be his little girl.
