The title of my post is a quote from a song by the late and great Jimi Hendricks. A tragic loss of such a young, extraordinary talent. No one can still compare to his guitar riffs, at least in my songbook!
Jimi's song "Angel" inspired my postcard for this weeks challenge on Sunday Postcard Art.
When I first saw the theme for the challenge I was so excited ! I Love Music! Almost as much as I Love Art! and there is always a song in my head or on my lips- many a times to others chagrin! heehee Hey, I never said I could sing ~just that I like too!!
As I went through a few ideas in my head for this challenge , my thoughts went back to one of the first art journaling spreads I created.
This is a page I had done during my first ever online workshop, with Strathmore Visual Art Journaling Series(2010)
(I have a whole post on this to share someday)
I felt good about my first attempt at a real face ~Jimi ~ even though he was cut from another sketchpad that was the wrong paper and weight for watercolors which made for wrinkles and fuzzies where they were not desired! - Oh, and then there was the spillage of the alcohol ink I was using! but wow- what a perfect background for Purple Haze!
Back to my postcard, I scanned this page and printed out mini Jimi's- backed them with black cardstock and placed them on the card in this fashion to create a feel of movement- not sure if I succeeded but I like the results!
Glad you came by- hope to see you tomorrow! ")
