August Inspiration at ARTastic

ARTastic Inspirational Challenge Blog

is having  their CTM Helene Bogren's work as their inspiraton

this month.

She was inspired by a Sweedish painter 

Carl Otto Hulten

There was 3 options and I took the 3.

(Please find it in the blog)

.....and here is how I got inspired

This time I started with the photos. I took a A4 shrink

plastic and measured 4x4 of the dimond shaps on

the back paper, cut  2  frames and heat shrinked for

so to attached the picture at the back of them.

I guess It was the 2 big dimond shapes on 

Carl Hulten's painting that 

started me on this LO,but instead of the empty

 blackness I used  the space for happy pictures :) 

A dobble book side is dabbed  and stamped with  gesso when glued to 

back paper. I drew orange dimonds on it and some greeen cheverons.

Orange and pink fine sisal was used under the pictures.

All paterned paper are from G45 Magic of Oz,

incl. the 3 little cut out tin men,

below is one of them ..

Flowers are of different origins 

I'm not sure about the top left corner, but some buttons and a dimond shrink

plastic was added to a clock patterend paper which had a bit of gesso and

 paint on first.

....And then i couldn't help my self I doodled a creature looking 

down on the tin man, any way, it is stuck there now

 so it all has to stay :P 

Opinions and comments are very much appriciated
