The current challenge letter of "Z"sure gave me a headache but thanks to Karen over at The Craft Barn, who gave me some suggestions, I have done Zulu Heritage Day.
The day is celebrated on 24th September and is a time for all South Africans to celebrate their diverse traditions, beliefs and cultures.
I took my inspiration from some African art I found on the web and created a colourful pattern using hand drawn and stamped shapes.
About Me
- BJ
- Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

Wow. Love your take on the inspiration material you used - you captured the cultural context. Love the colours and the fact you had a z day to add to your book.
