Art that travelled the World

Remember the international collaboration I told about earlier? Seven women from around the world grouped together and made a start on a piece of fabric and sent it off. This means that every one of us added somehow to every piece we got in hand. I showed you a bird once that I did for Milo:


and a woman riding on a horse for Audrey Breed, who is a Japan-lover:


And for Manon Wisser I added acrylics, pastels and charcoal. I need to show you the finished piece also, which turned out amazing


Here is the finished version:


The past week I have received three pieces of the collaboration. One of them my own :-)))
Here is Malissa Priebe's piece:


Malissa prepared a white square for each participant to paint and I found a photo of an albino child from Asia that was so adorable and painted it.

The following piece is Sandra Sherman's piece that is going back to Australia, as soon as I finished it completely. I'm not quite sure, maybe you have a suggestion for me how to complete it? To the left you see the piece how it arrived to me. I added the greens and animals and flowers:



This is my start, that I sent off to Australia in May. I added metallic colored acrylics to a silk dupion square and sketched the woman on top.


And this is what came back to me after it had travelled from Germany to Australia, different states in the US and Canada and over the big water to the UK and back home:


I absolutely love this piece and have to thank all you participants for working on my start! You are amazing!!!

I've been on a little holiday with my family in Copenhagen, where we were at an exhibition about Frida Kahlo, with some of her wonderful artwork. We stayed at the museum for more than three hours, which is a lot for a nine year old and a teenage boy!!! I love my family for giving me that time and I enjoyed it so much I wanted to go back the next day :D but we didn't, we visited an underwater world with all kinds of fish and other creatures which was amazing especially for my children!

Thank you for visiting my blog! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
