DAY 10:HOPI FLUTE CEREMONY


Yesterday, I came across this neat little southwest indian stencil booklet , while I was looking for bookboards at the goodwill store. It was my lucky day. I ended up with ten bookboards of various size, and this little stencil booklet sitting on top of one of the books.
I created this in my journal with the Hopi Flute Dancers.
It's a big ceremony , and the rites involve in this celebration is to bring
about abundance, crop growth, fertility etc...
Here's my rendition

DAY 4


Applied some modgepodge on journal page and glued little bits of scraps I save in a box.
Then I used a layer of gel medium, let it dry.
Afterwards I used watersoluble color crayons to fill in the spaces.

When I was finish playing with background, I let it dry, then sketched my flowers with gesso.
When gesso was dried I painted with acrylics
