The Three Muses: Stars / Tähdet

Kevät joka vuosi yhtä mahtava ja riemastuttava näytelmä, ja pohjoiseen palaavat muuttolinnut ovat sen suurimpia tähtiä. Tällä altsukirjani aukeamalla, jossa olen kuvannut joutsenia muuttomatkallaan, osallistun Kolmen Muusan tähti-aiheiseen haasteeseen. Ja tähdethän liittyvät muuttolintuihin sitenkin, että monet linnuista osaavat suunnistaa tähtien mukaan. - Sivujeni pohjalla on osa pohjoista maapalloa vanhasta karttakirjasta sekä mustaa gessoa, joutsenet olen leikannut lehtikuvasta. - Ihanaa kevättä kaikille!

Every year the spring is a marvellous and joyful show, whose main stars here in the north are the returning migrating birds. This spread from my altered book, where I have depicted some swans on their journey, is my entry for this week's Three Muses challenge "Stars". The stars and the migrating birds go together in another sense as well, because many birds can navigate by the stars. - On the background of my pages is a part of the northern part of the globe from an old atlas, and I painted the pages with black gesso. The swans are from a magazine illustration. - I wish you all a wonderful spring time - or autumn or summer for those, who don't live in the northern hemisphere!

  3. Absolutely wonderful altered book pages Eila - as always. Your swans following finding their way by the stars is a very clever interpretation on the theme. Well done.

  4. Ihanaa kevättä tosiaan! Lintujen konserttia on kiva kuunnella aamuisella koiran ulkoilutuslenkillä. Niiden pesänrakennuspuuhia on myös mukava seurata. Kauniin kuvan olet tehnyt
