ITAC17 - ChaLLeNgE THREE!

 ITAC17 Time for Challenge 3 - Oceania! O-M-G! 

I'm getting so much fun and guess what? Learning a lot!! I didn't know Oceania has a lot of stories and legends which have been passed down through generations..  and this is a different challenge!

The Rules:

Whatever form your project takes, it should tell a story, be inspired from the images below, and should include at least one of the following elements;

​

• Patterns inspired by traditional symbols (Maori tattoos, Dots/dashes of aboriginal Arts…)
• Think Monochromatic black and white or think colors of the Earth.
• Some sort of organic or natural material(s) (earth, stone, bone, bark, wood, fibres…)
• Shapes inspired by traditional or indigenous art

  Challenge 3 - Oceania
  
  
  
  
  
  This is my project inspired in Ranginui & Papatuanuku...
  
  
  The myth of the Sky Father and Earth Mother describes how their tight loving embrace keep light away from their children yearning for a break from darkness.. The children separated the couple and brought light in to the world.
  (Short story)
  
  
  
  My interpretation...
  The blue is Rainginui (Sky Father) the brown is Papatuanuku (Earth Mother) the two pieces of bark mean the separation and the gold is the light in to the world.
  
  
  
  
  
  The black and white are symbols inspired in Maori Tattoos and dots from aboriginal art.
  
  
  
  
  
  For my piece of art I use watercolor paper, Lyndy's Stamp Gang Mists and black and white acrylic colors.
  
  
  
  
  
  I love the story and I hope you like it too!
  Thanks ITAC17 for these beautiful challenges!

Here is my MONTH.. Those poppy flowers are so beautiful!! Remember this is before the pencil.. Later during the month I’m going to start filling all the blanks!

Here is my first week from the 3rd to the 9th of July! I decided to use reds and blues because the 4th of JULY!! Patriotic but also with a touch of summer beach days!

For my second week from the 10th to the 16th.. I use Voyage Beneath the Sea.. what a beautiful spread.. I love the turquoises and the oranges!! As you can see I don’t use washi tape.. The page with the borders is perfect for this purpose!! Also I use some of the sentiments from the Happy Planner and some Stickers from the Voyage Beneath the Sea Stickers.

This is my 3rd week.. From the 17th to the 23rd.. I love love this week! I use the Safari Adventure and it look so elegant!! The borders are perfect and the stickers complete the page! Did you like my pen collection?

And for my last week of JULY from the 24th to the 30th.. The Nature Sketchbook is perfect!! I love the butterflies.. I had fussy cut a lot of the images I use in the planner this time because sometimes I cut in advance and I don’t use it all so now it was the perfect time to use everything!!

YouTube Video

Here is my June Spread... Mes de Junio

One great idea is to use all the scraps we have from old collections.. we can use one collection for each month or one collection for each week.. what ever you like the most!

Una buena idea es usar los sobrantes de nuestras colecciones .. podemos usar una sola coleccion para cada mes o una para cada semana.. lo que mas nos guste!!

My 1st June Week using Cafe Parisian Collection... Mi primer semana usando la Coleccion Cafe Parisian.

TIP: Use stickers and borders instead of washi tape

TIP: Usar las pegatinas y la hoja de borders en lugar de washi tape 

Thanks for coming to my blog and for your sweet comments... Gracias por visitar mi blog y por sus dulces comentarios!
