Journaling Music 5: Send in the Clowns

 I'm experimenting with a new series of art journaling inspired by my favorite music! This is my fifth layout and features art inspired by the beautiful show tune "Send in the Clowns" from A Little Night Music.  This lovely song is written by Stephen Sondheim.  

One of my favorite recordings is by Barbara Streisand recorded in the mid-80's.  It begins with a melancholy English horn solo beautifully played...so mournful and perfect to set the mood.  You can hear it Here.  


The lyrics in this song are so poignant; just perfect with this little heart broken circus clown dreaming of days gone by.  

Wondering how I created this layout?  Check out the video below:
