Art Calendar Challenge 2011 - May

So it is time for another update on the calendar pages from the challenge I am doing hosted by Kate from The Kathryn Wheel.

This is what my finished April pages look like:



It turned out to be a birds page all the way :) The pages look really cheerful but to be honest, it was a rough month for me. Hopefully things will be better again in May :)



For May I have a Beltane theme going on. Beltane is celebrated on May first and is mostly about fertility and passion. It is a very cheerful and outgoing celebration. Typical Beltane colors are reds and whites. I used hearts on this page, strawberries, ladybugs and flowers :)

    Love the hearts and the Beltaine theme. My page was based on Beltaine and the maypole! Hope May will be a better month for you, Beltaine blessings x
