I was asked by an art friend if I’d make a page or 2 for a book she was putting together to be auctioned off at a Greyhound Rescue fundrasing event. I was more than happy to help out.
The “models'” for the pages are Casey, Ranger and Simon.

The other day I got my envelope from Inka Stamps who is sponsoring an Art Partner challenge on “Latest Trends“.Inside was a blank white piece of cardstock, Geisha unmounted rubber stamp and a Friendship knot. The requirement was to use the items provided to create something original.
The screen behind the Geisha took a lot of time as the pieces are hand cut and glued individually. I really can’t think of another way that I could have made it look so authentic though.

This book has been a bit more difficult for me to come up with something that fit the theme of the book. The owner wanted a focus on Japan and Okinawa, specifically their crafts and textiles but thankfully.. gave us “an out” so to speak as long as we stuck to the Asian theme.
Haiku and Bonsai felt to me like a good fit without repeating the same Kimono’s and Geisha’s that would be expected with these theme. The attempt at haiku poetry is all my own…
