The Three Muses: Ovet / Doors

Kolme muusaa (The Three Muses) ovat käynnistäneet ihanan uuden haasteblogin, ja päätin aloittaa altsu-kuvakirjan tekemisen niistä jutuista, joilla osallistun heidän teemoihinsa. Ensimmäinen teema on "Ovet", ja näissä kuvissa on oma oveni sekä suljettuna että avattuna. Niinhän se on, että kun elämässään uskaltautuu avaamaan ovia, niin niiden takaa löytyy aina uusia ovia. Juuri se tekee elämästä niin mielenkiintoista! - Kuvan aineksina on itse maalattu pohja, aikakauslehdestä leikattu heiluriovikuva, erilaisia askartelu- ja kierrätyspapereita, kiiltokuvia, Indinkadon saniaisleimasimet sekä takimmainen ovikuva itkupillin digikollaasiarkista.

The Three Muses have started a wonderful new challenge blog. I decided to start filling an altered book with my entries for their themes. This week's challenge is "Doors", and I made an image with a door opening to new doors (that's what the Finnish language text is about). And isn't it so, that what makes life so interesting is that behind every door you open there's always a new door! - The materials of the image are: a background painted by me, the image with the swing doors cut from a magazine, various crafting and recycled papers, glossy pictures, stamps with ferns from Inkadinkado, and the image of the doors behind the doors from a digital collage sheet by itkupilli.

  11. I want to enter your door and find out what is on the other side! Enchanting is the word I'd use to describe your art pieces. I love it when a piece leaves a story untold. Just also want to send a big thank you for all of your sweet comments on my blog. They really do mean so much to me.

  15. Eila, your two pictures are so beautiful. It illustrates so stunningly the old quote that when one door closes, another opens. I love the colours. Everything about your art is stunning. Wonderful work.

  16. Todella kauniit kuvat ja idea niiden takana on hieno. Uskalla avata ovesi. Olet tehnyt paljon ihania yksityiskohtia, niitä jää ihan katselemaan ja samalla pohtimaan tarinoita ovien takana.
