so, here's the challenge for you:
.........................................
using the idea of ekphrasis , a "graphic or artistic description/representation of a visual work of art." study the colours of the painting above. for THIS challenge, i'd also like you to study the linear feel and focus on the shapes therein!
then leave a link here to a handmade item of yours, (or anothers) that is inspired by these colours + SHAPES! (there's the twist - i know you can do it, nicies!)
in about a week, i'll compile the suggestions and post them as our 4th ekphrastic response! just keep in mind, i'm looking for handmade works that fit the colour-palette & the lines and shapes of this piece! thanks!
can't wait to see what you come up with!
and may your day be filled with gorgeous tones!

Love reiter8!!
I love Piet Mondrian! My Mom did a counted cross stitch of one of his designs way back when... His designs are simple and clean - the way I wish my house looked! Here's a link to my simple felt coasters:

Primary colors are my favorite! (You can tell that from my vintage and handmade shop, B.Inspired Vintage.)
ReplyDeleteThese fun Pocket Pillow Covers made with vintage baby clothes are certainly square with bright primary colors!
Love your ekphrastic challenges. So FUN!!!
