TMTA & AJ WK41

The TMTA challenge this week is Moon & Stars. I love celestial items & pictures so I went with that this week. The background is distressed gesso. I used a page from an old book, applied gesso & then used blue & dark purple inks swirled over it using kitchen towel. I added a touch of black in places. The ink was a bit too thick & the text isn't very visible but I am very thrilled with the finished piece. I stamped large stars in dark purple before applying the two images. Then I used a stencil & silver pen to add stars.

This week's AJ challenge is Magic Carpet, where would you ask it to go? I have chosen the land of fairytales. The text isn't meant to be too legible as i didn't want it detracting from the overall image. It reads, Magic carpet take me to the land of fairytales & childhood dreams. Where no one is ever hungry hurt or at war. Everyone is loved & happy & free. What made me do this piece is all the hunger & war in the world. The poor people of Zimbabwe are often on my mind. Those poor kids don't have a fairyland. Paper is an offcut from a CJ I recently did, DCWV, Once Upon a Time.
