Since our return, I have been busy creating several "families" of cards; today we'll have a looks at blues and purples.
Here is a birthday card for a girl who is very un-pink, so I decided to make it as sweet as possible:
Tiles, tiles, tiles... a sunshiny stamp pattern heat-embossed in white, combined with a watercolor-y patterned paper all the way from Poland:
More tiles...
...and an art-journal page illustrating one of the outcomes of the recent trip, namely an attempt to learn Hebrew. What a challenge for a mind to start from scratch, with a totally new alphabet and some concepts I haven't seen in any of the languages I've scratched so far, like niqqud - writing the vowel information in little diacritics under and above the characters.
The text in Hebrew is the first verse of the Bible - "In the beginning..." since it goes together nicely with my Hebrew beginnings, which do sometimes feel "void and without shape", just like the earliest of creation wass described :)
This page is based on a sketch created from a beautiful photo of Chicago skyline, and also on similar colors:
More to come... I did use other colors as well, not just the pink-blue-purple spectrum :)
