Going to Alaska

As part of an art challenge to create a piece of art to do with our "Bucket List" I created these booklets about going to Alaska. I made several copies so that everyone in the challenge gets one. I did put two in each scan so hope it is not too confusing. The first picture here is two different covers.
The next set of pages were created by making a collage of the many things I have collected over the years about going to Alaska. I wanted to make them dream like so I used watered down glue on tissue paper to mute them. I stamped the words on and outlined them. Later I added gliter glue to the letters.
For the plan it page I first went to a travel agent to get updated information. I was so puzzled by all the choices and options that I decided the best way to explain it was to add puzzle pieces. I used the same stamps for letters in "plan it".


Now my dh and I are making plans to "do it" in 2011. For these pages I made a copy of a recent doodle of a polar bear and penguin on transparency attaching in with a snowflake brad. The left had side continued with the lettering but I added 3-d stickers and more cut outs from Alaska articles.

Each booklet is similar but unique and different.

Ran out of space


At my site http://catherinemariecalvetti.com/ I ran out of space so I decided to start a blog just for adding my art work to the WWW. Here is my latest zentangle "Longing for Spring".
