Riikka Kovasin - Paperiliitin: Autumn migration

Moikka! It's the first of November and first Friday of the new month! All new exciting stuff today.

While the process video project is new and format is new, the color scheme echoes something I did in October. Do you see it? This art journal spread got its color inspiration from the wizard cards I made! It also has another source of inspiration, but that I can't share yet. You can see the process here (link) in my YouTube channel.

I titled the spread "Autumn migration" pointing to the migratory birds. The idea with the journaling was that she's longing for a change, too, seeing the birds leave for south. I could have named the spread "Belle and Sebastian" as well, because somehow it steers my thoughts to elementary school and music lessons when we sung the title song of the series, "L'oiseau" many, many times in Finnish. I haven't got a clue about the series and don't know what it's about (except now googling the name of the song), but in Finnish there's a verse about how a bird soars through the air and the narrator longs to be as free and see the beautiful world.

Oh, did you recognize the swallow? It's a sketch for the painting I did for my co-worker during the summer! You can see the ready painting here (link).

Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a wonderful Friday and upcoming weekend, peaceful All Saint's Day to all celebrating!
