Seattle ("A City Near You") and "13" :)

Another ATC, Greek Mythology

Posted by cassandra , 5.18.2009 Monday, May 18, 2009

I chose a "Greek Mythology" theme from someone's list. I was very inspired by a HUGE tapestry I saw at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. It depicts a scene from mythology showing Artemis bathing with her maidens at a forest pond. Unwittingly, Actaeon comes upon the ladies. He's out hunting with his dogs. Goddesses nudity is held to be of utmost sacredness. Artemis condemns Actaeon to die: she turns him into a stag who is pursued by his own dogs. The original tapestry is amazingly intricate, completed by several women in the 1700s.

Giraffes.

I know it's a "busy" ATC, but giraffes mean a lot of things to me. There are a lot of themes I feel need to expressed with the idea of a giraffe.

I'm working on my first official ATC. I've toyed with the idea before and made all kinds of papercrafts. I've just never committed myself to creating an ATC.

I have a feeling they will be addictive. The theme I'm currently working with is "giraffe".

I found a funny quote from Eddie Izzard that I'm incorporating.
"I am an evil giraffe and I shall eat more leaves from this tree then perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die."

I signed up to do an artist trading card swap. My first "claim" (the first themed card that I get to design) is "giraffes". It should be interesting. I will start working on that this weekend.

It's been awhile.

So I haven't posted in a long time. I got a little overwhelmed with the crafting process and just stopped documenting. Hopefully I'll get back into it, slowly but surely.
