ITAC – Week Three – Oceania

ITAC – Week Three – Oceania

My third entrance for the challenge at Aall and Create.
The Challenge is called INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT OF ART & CRAFT = ITAC 2017

The theme for the third challenge is “Oceania” and the criterias are trying to use:

* 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

There was also a twist that the piece should tell a story. Mine is kind of symbolic with the heart, the blue (ocean) and the wood (land).
​
So, after trying my best to fit them all in (it’s always fun doing that) my canvas looked like this:

Papers: –
Embellishments: Polish Tangle, Lace, Wood pieces, Glass beads
Medium: Gesso, Soft Gel (Prima), Wax (Finnabair Prima), Heavy Gel (Prima),
Colors: Blue mists (Tattered Angels), Sparkling Acrylic (Finnabair Prima),
