Day of the Dead



I have had this background sitting on my desk for what seems like weeks. This theme for the ABC Group I belong to, has been really really hard. It's not normally a theme I work in, hence the reason I struggled. I do really like the challenge of going outside of my comfort zone though, so this is not meant to sound like a whinge. Each month the ABC group pick a theme to work in for our combined fat book, and as mentioned in the title, this month's theme is "Day of the Dead".

  2. Nat - this is really, really good! You have done a excellent job with the theme. It is dark and striking without being sombre. The bird image on text looks fantastic, and the eye really set it off. Great work.
    Considering you were not comfortable with the theme you have done an amazing job.

    There is a lot of depth to this piece.

  5. Nat this is fantastic! I love how you have interpreted the theme. How did you colour the buildings? That is the GPP stamp isn't it? The whole thing has come together beautifully.

    I have been thinking of you and sending special thoughts and prayers your way this week.
