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.
These are for a challenge and swap. They are made from links off and old belt and my handmade paper beads. I can’t wait to see what the others players come up with!
PS…thanks to Theresa for the coaster I used for my backdrop. 🙂
This is a Mail Order Brides themed challenge in keeping with the “Women in History” month for
The Latest Trends in Mixed Media Arts Yahoo group.
This digital piece was made in Paint Shop Pro with all of my own ephemera. The woman is my Grandma, the writing are my Grandpa’s sermon notes, the kids on horses are my dad and a cousin. The newspaper is from my mom’s side as well as the house picture which was a ad for sewing notions.
Just to be clear..Grandma WAS NOT a mailorder bride…don’t want to upset any of the realtives. 🙂
