Change page for Change journal

My January 17th post, "Change in the New Year" were some change quotes which provided the inspiration springboard for a Change page in my Change journal.

I put all those quotes on the inside cover of the journal and then did a change page. This just might be the format for future pages.

Printed on the Mylar sheet over the next page are the words:

Change
Cannot change
Can change
Want to change
Be the change
The change
Change of life
Change your life

Life change
Dramatic change
Inter change
Things change
Time change
Change time
Time to change

Change color
Change of plans
Change horses
Change for the better
Change for the worse
Change of heart
Change of fortune
Change of luck

Loose change
Got change?
Change over
Change...don’t ya just hate it!


The background sheet is painted with Metal Effects copper metal paint and green patina. Then decopaged on the words to a song printed on rice paper, and aged with walnut oil.
The background sheet has the words to the song "Changes" by David Bowie, originally released on the album Hunky Dory in December 1971 and as a single in January 1972. (Live, France 1999)

“Changes” by David Bowie
I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets

Every time I thought I'd got it made

It seemed the taste was not so sweet

So I turned myself to face me

But I've never caught a glimpse

Of how the others must see the faker

I'm much too fast to take that test


Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain)

Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain)

Ch-ch-Changes

Just gonna have to be a different man

Time may change me

But I can't trace time


I watch the ripples change their size

But never leave the stream

Of warm impermanence and

So the days float through my eyes

But still the days seem the same

And these children that you spit on

As they try to change their worlds

Are immune to your consultations

They're quite aware of what they're going through


Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain)

Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell t hem to grow up and out of it


Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain)

Ch-ch-Changes

Where's your shame

You've left us up to our necks in it

Time may change me

But you can't trace time


Strange fascination, fascinating me

Changes are taking the pace
I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain)

Ch-ch-Changes

Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes (Turn and face the strain)

Ch-ch-Changes

Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older

Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me

But I can't trace time

still need a bit more inspiration, view this impessionistic montage of Chachacha Changes.
