Watching a shaker card video tutorial I thought, why not to make a shaker journal page?
So I did it on a old book where I took off some pages to make room for the cardboard, the acetate and sequins.
I took an online class of Wabi-sabi and immediately felt in love with the concept. I used acrylic inks, India inks, acrylic high flow paints and Lotka paper.
In traditional Japanese aesthetics, Wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence, specifically impermanence, suffering and emptiness or absence of self-nature .
Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes.
My first interpretation
This project and video are part of the #thanks4watchingart 3 video hop, event which is a collaboration of art videos by the Creative Arts Collaboration Group. Please visit the channels listed in the description box and if you want, like, share and subscribe.
There was a challenge for this hop and we had to choose a technique seen in a video from a previous #thanks4watchingart event (1 and 2). I chose a journal spread by Hanny Tromp where she uses molding paste with a stencil and coffee to colorize the background.
