Aall and create challenge - trip to Asia on a tag

Hello and welcome.

We have been without the internet for a while and finally today we got it back. Amazing how dependent we are on the small cable 😄 So now I have a lot to catch up with.

I will start with Aall and Create ITAC 2017 - Challenge 2, which is Asia, and this is my interpretation of the Asia challenge:

Aallandcreate - challenge-2 - Asia

Motifs inspired by mandalas

· Geometric shapes

· Tiles - ceramic, pantiles, glazed tiles, or their designs...

· Asiatic flowers, such as cherry blossom, chrysanthemum, orchids, lotus, Frangipani, lilies, hibiscus etc..

· Calligraphy or handwriting

· Fabric, faded or dyed

· Powdered pigments

Thank you for visiting. I will soon come back with more fun and some very good news - especially for me 😉

Hugs, Anita

The Madonna from Norway - a different art journal spread

Hello and welcome

Today I want to show you a art journal page I did for the Challenge at Aall and Create.
The 1. Challenge is Europe and this is my interpretation of this Challenge:

The base is the Norwegian very well-known artist, Edvard Munch. I have some texture in the background with white texture paste and a stencil, then I draw the Madonna of Edvard Munch on a pre painted paper, and glued her down on my art journal page. For this I use a pencil and the Stabilo all pencil.

I tore some pages out of my French-Norwegian dictionary and glued them down. Some mark making with pencil. Stamped the numbers 1894 and 1895 as are the years Munch used to paint Madonna. And therefore the blue thread that goes through the different elements. My hole pages elements is connected to each others.
