Geometrical Shapes at Art Journal Journey



A new month and  a warm welcome to Valerie  from Bastelmania who is our host at
The theme she has challenged  us with  is......
Geometrical shapes


My page began by using some mask  shapes for the background.
I wanted to use the  postcard[ from the Vienna postcard collection] of The Clown  by  Rudolph Kalvach.
 This was fussy cut as were the stamped shapes of the  'not round', but six sided hexagon shaped balloons.
He looked a real happy chap, comfortable in his clothes and how round  he looks. Perhaps he hoped the elongated  diamond shapes would make him look thinner 
These are my thoughts on the painting of the clown, which I really think looks  fantastic 
We often say we look a particular shape and \want to be different. Perhaps its time to step back and be happy with being as we are. today and leave the shapes to  the experts to use them in  a proper mathematical  way.

Thank you for calling in today and I hope you will join us in April  at Art Journal Journey.

Stay safe and well everyone.

    What an incredible first entry for Valerie's theme, dear Yvonne. I like how you can perceive your clown to be round when he is really made up of other shapes. This is both clever and well presented. Thanks for this first entry at Art Journal Journey using Valerie's theme at Art Journal Journey, dear friend.

    Wise words.
    The clown reminds me of medieval times, too.

    Fabulous and inspirational Yvonne I adore that Vienna clown what a creative illustration he is and he certainly does look happy with his own shape, your so right with your words. Love how you created the background using the shapes, those hexagons make a great addition to your page. Fabulous. Take care Tracey xx
