I also love the art and the culture of this amazing country. It has influenced some of my art.
These are some of the ATCs I did some time ago. I've learned a lot about collage and layering since most of them. Still, it was a fine time to revisit them.
Thanks for coming by! I love your comments and will answer do my best reply directly with email if your address is included. If you are a no-reply blogger, know that I appreciate your visit but may not be able to reach you. I will not publish malicious or spam-like robo-comments so if you are coming in as anonymous or unknown, please ID yourself with your name and or contact info. I tend to avoid conflict. I know not everyone agrees with me on issues or I with them and I will probably not get into an argument with you. If a comment is made respectfully, I will post it, even if I don't agree with what the commenter says. If it is obviously spam or uncivil, I may not post it and I certainly won't reply. So, if you have a question, please post it in the comments and if you aren't connected to a blog or email, I will be happy to answer if I can. Please note that if you are an "anonymous" commenter, you are a no-reply blogger by default. (And I hope the person who asked that sees this because they came in as anonymous with no contact info so I can't reply directly!)
Such a heartbreaking time. It is always good to reflect on the beautiful images and art Japan has given us.

My 12 year old
ReplyDeleteis crazy for
anything Japanese
and my husband has
colleagues in Japan,
so this really hit
home for us. The
two of them are
even talking about
making a trip to
help with rebuilding
efforts, once things
have calmed down and
there are organizations
setting up such endeavors.
Your beautiful ATCs
are just that ~ lovely.
Happy Monday, Jeanie!

I said most of what I had to say about the crisis on the previous entry. Here, I'll just say, "Beautiful!"
ReplyDeletejeanie,
ReplyDeleteI just found this amazing art/life juxtaposition. If the link doesn't "take", I'll email it to you - I never can remember what blogger will and won't allow ;-)
