This month for the Mystical Cyber Crop Challenge the theme was Harmony Day. My
challenge was to take inspiration from a traditional cultural design. I
opted to take my inspiration from indigenous Australian dot art. I
haven't stuck closely to the designs of the indigenous artists- but used
the concept of repeating circles and earth tones.
My background is the lovely embossed Bazzill Dotted Swiss Cardstock-
which has such a lovely feel to it. The circles repeat the shape at the
end of the log in my image. I've used 5 patterned papers in varying
shades of brown from dark to light, they also have a variety of textures
as well to add interest. I've die cut the circles in three different
sizes. I laid out the large circles first in triangles by colour (where
possible) to make the 'random' design balanced.
Not so random pattern.
Then
filled in the spaces with the medium circles and finally the smaller
circles. Then I've added some wooden spots from my stash and a whole
packet of Kaisercraft pearls!
I've added a double pen line border with a blue pen to match my son's
clothing as well as the date. The last thing was the title with some fun
brown thickers.
I
don't have any journalling on this page- and I usually add at least a
little. But this page has a companion page in Tama's album which talks
about his passion for what we calling 'Boying'- getting out and about,
making mess, playing with sticks and stones.
