Sunday Postcard Art: The Geisha’s Hat
Posted By venita on November 16, 2008
This is my first time posting to Sunday Postcard Art. I found the site several months ago, but just never could get it together. So I was bound and determined to post this weekend. And although it is late on Sunday, I am going to do it.
I loved the idea of a hat and I am really focused on Asian images right now. So, I searched for an image that might have a hat and I found this fabulous image from ARTchix Studio. Helga has fabulous images and this one is one of my favorites.
I used decorative papers as the background for her and laid that on top of a tea stand postcard from a Japanese restaurant catalog. Then I used ribbon to pick up the color in her kimono and create a focal point. Then finally, I used metal bits from Creative Underground to anchor the collage.
The piece came out pretty cool. I am going to mount it on a larger canvas ultimately. How fun!!!
beautiful postcard!!!
Lovely asain take on the theme…..nice to have you join us
Its gorgeous.
the postcards are lovely. are they a challenge ? It seems like a good one and a doable thing. Are you doing one a week ? I am trying to balance work and art and this seems like something wonderful..or at least your designs are. I found you through Kelly’s site. I LOVE your work. You are a HONEY !!!!!!
