AnnaMakeover - a mother's angst

Check out this new post in the forum https://ozone.oscraps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22215. It's a fun way to see how someone else sees your photos and interprets your journaling.

This is a makeover of Ambers page A Mothers Angst.

Amber wanted to keep the photo and the journaling and have a page that expressed some of the emotion of her journaling.

I went with a softer, faded color palette representative of the love Amber has for G and of the transitory nature of childhood. I added the more recent photo of G to emphasize the amazing change from 2 to 7 and I tried to pick elements that fit with Ambers journaling.

Sometimes, when I have a lot of journaling, I tilt it a bit. It helps to break up the page and add a bit of interest. In this case, the tilted journaling worked with Ambers feelings of angst. I loved that Ambers title had her daughters initial as one of the letters, so I played with that and gave the g a lift.

Journaling: Just before she turned 2 years old, Georgia had her U6 at the pediatricians. This is the 2-year check-up where they look at language growth and fine motor skills (both of which she passed with -more or less- flying colors). And then the ped dropped the bomb on us: he claimed she had jumped in one year from being in the 3% to being in the 97% for weight. The doctor read us a long, long, lecture that upset me to no end as it was not helpful, just accusatory. I left that appointment feeling awful, I blogged about it, I ranted about it to anyone who would listen, I cried about it. And in the end? it was a whole lot of angst for a bit of baby fat that hadnt melted off yet, something it would indeed do within the next few weeks. Yes, in a matter of weeks, that sweet, baby-face, those pudgy arms and knees would disappear and leave a little girl in the place of my baby. Lesson learned: Doctors do not always know best, dont let them take away from the joy you have in your baby, shes only a baby for a blink of time that you should hold on to while you can.

Thanks for looking :)
Spectacular remake! The result is amazing.
Love the brown eye(s) and the wooden alpha.
Love the photo-processing, the butterflies, the slightly pops of color, love ............ it all!!!!
 
Beautiful remake - the emphasis is on the lovely baby and the angst her mother is feeling - the soft colors and blended picture help support the sadness and transitory nature of the angst. It's just awesome!!
 
Amber...LOVES this. It is so beyond perfect, it literally makes me cry just to LOOK at it, and that is exactly the effect I wanted. I cannot thank you ENOUGH, Adryane!!
 
totally drop dead gorgeous art love your interpretation, subtle divine and absolutely special.
