The Japanese Influence

In my last post I spoke of my love for Japan and its people.

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.

  2. My 12 year old
    is 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 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 ;-)

  9. Beautiful ATCs, Jeanie! Isn't it fun to take out your older artwork and look at it from time to time? You can see how you've grown but also how good you were!
