These are the windows I made for this week's challenge over on Awfully Big Art Adventure. The green Frida is ATC sized, and the other is based around a postcard sized wooden picture frame - I added the wooden struts to make it look more like a window.
I rather enjoyed doing these - each quite different. The Frida one has a soft watercoloured look because I found a drawing of a window to use and added shading with my watercolour pencils.
The wooden frame was a cheapie buy in a dollar store - these were made as little craft kits for children with 4 in a pack plus some markers. I threw the markers away and bought two packs!
I was thinking about genteel poverty behind closed doors and the mask of respectability, and these two little ones are looking out at a world more colourful than their own life. I think it's because our huge old house is FREEZING at the moment, so I am dreaming of double glazed cosy cottages ....
i like your blog......
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely ... wonderful interpretation of someone looking out on a world different from their own inner world.

Brilliant challenge Rosie and your samples are inspirational as always! I am running a little behind as I've been out of town!
ReplyDeleteI have just found your blog while hopping from one blog to another - I think I may be a regular visitor. I love these two ATCs as they are different and unusual. I have only just discovered ATCs so its a new world for me.
