Colors and Papers

I'm trying to upload two journal spreads. Not sure if it will go through...

The purple spread reminds me of The Handmaid's Tale! Strong colors for strong feelings, but I feel it's a bit disjointed.

The spread with the ephemera has a genealogical theme, with the man in the frame being my GGG grandfather, a sea captain who may or may not have sailed to China. The papers are from his 1840 probate file, with his children signing and using their wax seals (covered in red dots.) His wife, who shares my name, Polly, is mentioned a few times on the right. There's a vague image of a woman waiting on shore for him on the lower left! May not be the best collage but it's the kind of art that generates talk about family history.
