Lisa, this is not only gorgeous but a wonderful idea for a LO. The black and white color choice looks so elegant. How fun you play the cello. I'm envious. I LOVE music and have NO talent. Thanks for sharing a piece of you. Love the quote!
For a mini challenge in POD back in January 2010, we had to interpret 'Favorite Sound' so I took photos of my cello.
This is my example for my January Four Categories Challenge - Category Four ~ Theme: Music. The twist is to include a quote or lyrics on the page. I have 10 different music and cello related quotes.
This is for the January Music Challenge - Title. Cello Song is the title of a song by Nick Drake. I did the twist to use a black bg.
I used the title and quotes to create a sort of ode to the cello. I used an October 2011 PageMap. I was going for simple and elegant, but possibly came out too boring. I can't decide. I have been in an anti-embellishment phase lately. Anyway, the pp for the circle is flocked, and I did a black on black die cut of a music staff on the bottom of the LO so there is quite a bit of texture that shows up better IRL. I doodled a simple line border with a clear Stardust pen. I created the journaling box in Word and printed it on vellum. Quotes: Doing music is a way of finding out who you are. --Yo Yo Ma When I started learning the cello, I fell in love with the instrument because it seemed like a voice -- my voice. ~Mstislav Rostropovich Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. ~Victor Hugo A cello's soul is the resonance that makes it unique... ~Ben Kingsley A painter paints pictures on canvass. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~Leopold Stokowski Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without. ~Confucius It is an attention-getter. I mean, it's hard to ignore a woman lugging a cello around. --Lori Singer After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible...is music. ~Aldous Huxley The cello is the most perfect instrument aside from the human voice. ~Zuill Bailey Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart. --Pablo Casals
