The new challenge over at Art Journal Journey is architecture. My first thoughts when I heard this were Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. They were perhaps more famous for other things they created, but both were very involved with the architecture of their day. These pages are perhaps more a hommage to them than pure architecture.
I started by gluing part of a serviette with Michelangelo's famous hands of God and man, and gave the rest of the pages some matching colours, before building them up with various layers using stamping, tissue transfers. stencils etc. The quote is one from Leonardo. I did my best to copy the signatures of the two artists. I am not really satisfied with the end results, some parts turned out as I wanted, others not, but that's life. That just inspires to try again!

Have a good day you all, take care, and thanks for coming by!
