The Three Muses: Key / Avain

Kolme Muusaa kaipailee töitä, joiden osana on avain. Tein taas aukeaman altsukirjaani, ja koska kirjastani näyttää muodostuvan lintuaiheinen juttu (vaikken sitä sellaiseksi alun perin suunnitellutkaan), niin laitoin avaimen haltijaksi harakan. Harakoidenhan sanotaan keräävän pesäänsä kaikenlaista kiiltävää - ja olen varma että ne kyllä keräävät myös kuulakärkikyniä ja vasemman jalan sukkia, sillä ne ovat aina hukassa ainakin minulta. - Harakka on googlattu ja muunneltu, kaikki muu on erilaista kierrätyspaperia.

This spread from my altered book is my entry for the Three Muses' challenge to use a key as a part in our works. In my piece a magpie is carrying a key to its nest - it is said that magpies collect all kinds of shiny things. (I'm sure they also collect ball-point pens and left foot socks because I can never find them when I need them...) I chose the magpie as my protagonist, because it seems that my altered book is going to be all about birds, even though I did not plan it to be like that beforehand. - The magpie is googled and altered, all the other stuff is recycled paper.

  9. Hi Eila, I am smiling because I want to add "Magpies and HUSBANDS like shiny things". I call my husband a magpie because he collects anything and everything and never wants to throw anything away. Your journal pages are beautiful. Your magpie is magnificent - such beautiful colours. Thanks so much for being part of our challenge every week.

  10. I believe I must be a magpie; I'm always distracted by beautiful shiny things! Your altered book pages are wonderful. I love that shade of blue with the starkly graphic black and white.

  15. Todella upea kuva ja sävyt! Hieno idea laittaa harakalle avain. Minullekin tulee aina harakoista mieleeni kiiltävät esineet, joita ne varastelevat. :)
