Monthly Makers Books / Curious

Time for another creation for Monthly Makers! The theme for this month is “books”, and I seriously had a million ideas at the start of the month, but as the days went by I slowly lost interest in every single idea I had. Which is fair, I guess, since I’m probably having the few weeks I’ve had in years right now, but it was still pretty frustrating.

Anyway, I decided to do what I usually do when I can’t come up with something to create on the theme of the month – to start with what I wanted to make and find an interpretation with that as a starting point. And so I have been creating a lot using my iPhone lately (bad health = lot of time spent in bed = phone art equals only art I have energy for) and I tried to figure out a way I could create something for the theme using my phone. And I had been working with an old picture of some flowers the night before, and realised that I could make something that just felt a little bit like a dark version of Wonderland by just tweaking the technique a little bit.

So that’s my interpretation, and here are the three images in the series I’ve named “Curious”.
