For everything there is a season
This is my contribution to the Collective Souls journal, Believe. I based my pages on the quote from Ecclesiastes, "For everything there is a season...". You can see the other page contributions here.
It took me awhile to get going on this project. I haven't worked with paper and collage in such a long time that it was kind of difficult getting the creative wheels in motion.
This page and the one above it face each other in the journal.
A fall version of the first page which represents spring showing how the seasons, like everything else, come full circle.
------------------
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
I just had to let you know that I think these pages are wonderful.. I adore the vintage feel to the Spring and the Fall ones. Really lovely.

I really like what you came up with. The text in the background is super. Paper collage can be intimidating to me. Great job!

Really really lovely! I think I'm most enamoured with the first and last pages, but I'm awe-struck by all of them! My collages never come out lovely like that.
