November 2021 - Art Muse WEEK #1 - ROYALS

I was looking for themes to do for our ART MUSE and somehow ended looking at traditional crowns. Did you know a lot of countries have traditional and folklore crowns? I was just so impressed and the number of countries that have these amazing crowns! Most of these crowns are worn by women of all ages. Some countries have modernized their crowns and others have been kept untouched by their traditions. During the month of November, we are going to be taking inspiration from different crowns from around the world.

It was a simple decision for me to pick which country's crown I was going to use as inspiration for WEEK #1. Ukrainian crowns or wreaths! The majestic look of them is just fascinating to me!

We will be designing some vinóks! I have included a few of my favorite Ukrainian Vinoks for you to use as inspiration. You will design this crown for either a doll/drawn face/animal, but you must use MAINLY floral items. I hope you enjoy this challenge as much as I enjoyed preparing it for you.

You may create any style of layout (ie. clean and simple, artsy, pocket style etc.) you wish, with or without a photo. Create any size page you wish. This is for everyone, so have fun and see where the inspiration takes you.

Please post your layout to the Art Journaling Gallery HERE prior to Midnight EST December 2, 2021 and then post it in this thread by copying the code (at the right of your gallery image) from the box under "Share BB Code".

We will draw a winner at the beginning of next month for a coupon!! Every layout you create is equal to one entry in the random draw. So if you create 1 layout you are entered once, if you create 4 layouts you are entered 4 times.

You can use any products in The Lilypad store or retired products from current Lilypad designers, (just make sure you follow our gallery guidelines).

I apologize that I can't scrap with you all, but I am computer-less right now. Posting from my phone.

 

Maybe next week. It's been a crappy week hubby's car, my computer and HIS computer are all dead! We had to buy a car that was not in the plans for this year OR next! So, I hope he can fix it, because there is no budget for a new one. We have hockey this weekend and last of course we had hockey too.

 

Sounds like a plan!

 

OH MY GOODNESS! You ladies have knocked it out of the park! I am in awe at the beauty so far! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

 

Hubby's died the next day. We bought them about the same time. I hope that's it, they say crap comes in 3s, right?
