Black and White First Six Cards

I think it is safe to say that the black and white theme was making me feel a little "dark and sad", which is ok. Sometimes creating cards is a way for me to work through the sadness. And those who really know me well, know that I have both a dark and a light side to my personality. I've learned to embrace that darker side in the last couple of years! Not to worry, I'm not "going over to the dark side" like Darth Vader! I am just learning to appreciate all the facets of my true personality these days. The names of these cards, from top to bottom, left to right are: "Island Dream", "homage to Edward Gorey" (My dear husband's favorite illustrator!), "Silent Tears of Sorrow" (Thinking about losing my dad while making this one), "The Eternal Star Gazer" (Again, thoughts of my dad - looking to the stars and thinking "are you there poppie?!"), "Lost Dreams" (Can you see the face behind hers? It's a very cool sticker sent to me by my friend Heather R.), and "Bella Couture".
