Inspired by 7 Coloured Earth Mauritius
Have you heard of the 7 Coloured Earth in Mauritius? Here is my art journal page inspired by this area
It so happens that the owner of Hillbilly Shenanigans and her friend are on a world cruise that called into Mauritius recently. They took photos of their visit to the location. They are documenting their travels and setting small challenges along the way. This challenge was to be inspired by one of their photos of this truly amazing area in Mauritius.The earth is mainly different types of red, gold, browns and purples. For my art journal page, I first took a sheet of heavy white card stock and applied several Paper Artsy Paints with a spatula. I allowed this to dry and then using a now discontinued Kaszazz stamp with black archival ink randomly. I DID NOT LIKE IT!!! The inner critic was saying throw it away and start again! Well, I nearly did and then I realised I still had punches on my desk from some recent creating and decided to punch squares and circles - not really knowing at this stage what I would do with them. For added depth I did apply Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink around the edges of the shapes and gradually part way into the middle
I applied these to a page in my art journal page, as seen above, the circles represent the undulating sand dunes of the area. Under the circles I did put foam squares, some I doubled up on so as the form the sand dunes.
Thank you for looking, Margaret. "Land really is the best art." Andy Warhol
