As this page came together, I thought about the poem and the mermaids. And I changed the journaling to read: "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. And I know they will sing to you." It is, not surprisingly, a message to my teenage daughter.
As my month long revisit of art journaling comes to an end, I hope that I continue to hear the mermaids singing to me. And I hope that they sing to you.

This might be my favorite, too! I just love the way you've created the backgrounds and the beautiful colors. Good change to the poem, as well!
What a lovely page...and change to the poem.
I always love your art and this one certainly doesn't disappoint. Such beautiful colours.
It's a beautiful page.
That's an interesting poem for the class to be studying
What a lovely page, I like the warm glow behind the mermaid. And I like how you changed the poem! x
It's been a long time since I read this amazing poem. And now I am eager to revisit the poem after seeing your journal page. Beautiful journal page and I like how you changed the mermaid quote. That's what I love about journal pages: they get right down to the heart of the matter.
Thanks for letting me know one of my cards arrived. I am glad to have discovered your blog!
Beautiful page. Penny did this poem as part of her degree and wrote a fantastic short story based on its. Your page would make a good illustration!
What a wonderful layered background you have created here - so full of warmth and promise. Isn't that such a mournful line of TS Eliot's ... glad to read a more optimistic one!
I much prefer your version of that line xx
A lovely page and like Alison I much prefer you version.
