In the past I didn't post very much of my work because I am computer challenged and it seemed such a frustrating experience, however,I made the decision to post more so I can learn to do it faster and better.<br />
<br />
Sometime in 2010, I started an art journal,I love the process of finding words, phrases and pictures to represent what I feel at the moment so<br />
I have selected some of the journal pages at random, to practice posting.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTNwgIK4fU-tanZ3OCbM8b7izrz38cCBvaq7vHxQWiz25_TyW3SX_aALsCW7d2rqfSFvAgghf4K-POEsVZi4mDrsuBYT4H57sDEKbsKOH6Z1mHZpMW5VZ92zTGbHrZjgbE8OvAoPFsqEY/s1600/art+journal1-7007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="247" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTNwgIK4fU-tanZ3OCbM8b7izrz38cCBvaq7vHxQWiz25_TyW3SX_aALsCW7d2rqfSFvAgghf4K-POEsVZi4mDrsuBYT4H57sDEKbsKOH6Z1mHZpMW5VZ92zTGbHrZjgbE8OvAoPFsqEY/s320/art+journal1-7007.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjthk3lDkbSZxWtvRBUBvRWEMAqLJ9Gu9zwHE4a47Q465qtGkBg26S0GdTVtWAjh90UzUwAwvgP74AeDwE3QG6DsIRnFd49IBxKEI2xTuidB7CotpyYAFWKqepmms0BpB7KRUnGCC7CQ1s/s1600/art+journal1-+10011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="247" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjthk3lDkbSZxWtvRBUBvRWEMAqLJ9Gu9zwHE4a47Q465qtGkBg26S0GdTVtWAjh90UzUwAwvgP74AeDwE3QG6DsIRnFd49IBxKEI2xTuidB7CotpyYAFWKqepmms0BpB7KRUnGCC7CQ1s/s320/art+journal1-+10011.jpg" /></a></div><br />

<br />
We used Lynne's favorite resin paper for substrata, used gesso on the front and back to prime it, thus making the resin paper very strong and pliable. Oil pastels were liberally applied to obtain the desired background. The pastels were vigorously rubbed in with paper towels,then more colors applied until the background was completed. I then used stamps, collaged my favorite pictures of Frida, houses, birds, and other ephemera to represent what she loved. To finish the book I hand-stitched around each page and completed with a tassel.<br />
<br />
The first picture is a view of the front and back page. The word Sadja, appears several times in her diary and it's a variation of the Sanskrit word Sadha meaning Heaven and earth. The numbers 3, 7, 9 have a mystical significance but Frida did not explain their importance in her life.<br />
I loved working on this book and reading Frida's diary. She was a tormented soul but an extraordinary artist and an incredible human being<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPG62vmIfOkXIQhkyaO3ylzHVdC68FSdClD-CLWZV2rDlrmmHJzeQCaCzsJT600g-g-k5YWpgCULnkATGl3IKrTjqdzPVTTvJY0zUc5epwwV8xb6Q9Fsj6LiQzENn7v1cgKt8VkzXRbOs/s1600/IMG_0775.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPG62vmIfOkXIQhkyaO3ylzHVdC68FSdClD-CLWZV2rDlrmmHJzeQCaCzsJT600g-g-k5YWpgCULnkATGl3IKrTjqdzPVTTvJY0zUc5epwwV8xb6Q9Fsj6LiQzENn7v1cgKt8VkzXRbOs/s320/IMG_0775.JPG" /></a></div><br />

I am making much better progress with the actual assignments, but have not been successful at conveying this to all of you. I am really going through two classes here: AB and blogging. It has also been a very difficult week family-wise. My grand daughter has experienced a spiking temperature to 104 degrees with convulsions, was in St. Vincents' ER one night, and is still suffering, poor thing. I have been doing heavy duty baby sitting, back and forth between Manhattan and New Jersey. So forgive me for being late, but I hope to catch up somewhat this weekend. Please do not drop me from the class.<br /><br />Best, Ritarikaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15486232684981006453noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378805786604908212.post-39113534158711572322009-03-19T15:03:00.000-07:002009-03-19T15:16:50.722-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxVrwxG0nKZptWO_SKelsJ2V850KQ-21aTsPgq6g63xswkEMi9YSWojVwZJHA-PkknX9agyIgMXoX3JGHsLZ0x1hoXgs6iCbuQOErTRyQnEXtyAHRMTizdzKQ2nFU6D1bF_853u0f0YHM/s1600-h/Pilgrimage+to+India+004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxVrwxG0nKZptWO_SKelsJ2V850KQ-21aTsPgq6g63xswkEMi9YSWojVwZJHA-PkknX9agyIgMXoX3JGHsLZ0x1hoXgs6iCbuQOErTRyQnEXtyAHRMTizdzKQ2nFU6D1bF_853u0f0YHM/s320/Pilgrimage+to+India+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315023501825733298" border="0" /></a>rikaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15486232684981006453noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378805786604908212.post-79300981690119797602009-03-18T17:13:00.000-07:002009-03-18T17:18:54.211-07:00First time as a bloggerThis is my very first blog, I did it with the help of my husband who is sitting next to me.<br />in the very near future I will post my work and many pictures.<br />bye for now,rikaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15486232684981006453noreply@blogger.com0
