Friday Collage - Wk 50

eine kleine Ecke











This week's artist, Gustav Klimt is hands down one of my very favorites! I think I'm drawn to artist that were controversial in their time. Klimt was known as a Symbolist Painter and criticized for his work being too sensual and erotic. ( ... compared to what's on TV these , not so much.) I thought it was fitting to "reproduce" a symbol from one of his pieces. I love The Kiss, Medicine (Hygieia), Three Ages of Women... okay, I love them all! I decided to keep it simple (no glitzy gold) and pull something from his 1907 oil painting Danae. The black fabric is a polyester scrap leftover from my daughter's choir dress that I made last year and the symbols were created using fast2fuse. Finished it off with some simple lines, couldn't resist just a little glitz!

The storm last night was horrid! During the power outage we were out removing the gazebo cover before it was blown away. We lost two sections of fence but I can't complain too much, a neighbor a street over had two trees fall on their house. School was canceled today but the worst is over. It's never dull around here!

For fun, this has been going around, so here's me - making an elf of myself!

Happy Hanukkah!
