Art Calendar Challenge 2011 - April

And since it is the end of the month again, it is time for an update on my art calendar for the challenge at the Kathryn Wheel :)

Here are the completed pages from March. Only today is still empty ;) These were focussed on Ostara, the change of seasons from winter to spring and the symbols have very much in common with Easter. So it looks like I was a month early, but I am not ;)

Since there is no Sabbat in April, I made a colorful spring page for April with blue and yellow inks. I mixed the colors on the paper with a brush. Sometimes I added some water for softer shades as well. I used a flower shaped cookie cutter for tracing to make the calendar days and I pasted them a bit over eachother to make it look like bunches. I bought the glittery green letter stickers a few days ago and decorated this page with birds :) I enjoyed making these pages and I hope for those also participating in the challenge that you did as well :) As usual, they will fill up more during the month.
