Two Birds with One Stone

Image
Das Thema bei Journal 52 war diese Woche Inspiration Board. Zugleich zeige ich die Arbeit bei der Mixed Media Monthly Challenge, deren Thema Birds of a Feather war. Zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe. or two Birds with One Stone. I did this page for my weekly Journal52  challenge (Inspiration Board) but will also add it to the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge  the theme was Birds of a Feather. I think this works well for both challenges because inspiration is like a bird it is here but if you don't grasp it, it might fly away soon and like the colourful feathers of a tropical bird the biggest inspiration is in nature itself and in every detail of creation.. This started out as a really crappy collage and I was so unhappy with it but I didn't give up, in the end I pretty much covered up the whole background and ripped off a few of the pictures that I just didn't like or that were in the wrong place. So in the end after doodling away during a long skype call with my sisters I...

Stationen - Stages

Dieses kurze Video von TheTanteTi ist ein super Beispiel durch wieviele Stadien, wieviele Schichten so ein Bild haben kann. Verblüffend wie das Endergebnis aussieht. Super!

#TBT Throwback Thursday

I looked through an old laptop of mine today and found this sketch of a children's picture book illustration I did way back. In the end there were no colour images due to printing costs but only black and white line drawings illustrating the story. But this is what it could have looked like ;) Als ich heute durch einen meiner alten Laptops geguckt habe, kam mir diese Skizze unter. Ich hatte sie damals für eine Kinderbuch Illustration gemacht. Im Endeffekt wurde dann aus Kostengründen nur schwarz-weiße Stichzeichnungen verwendet, naja. Aber so hätte das Buch aussehen können.
