Ethnic

I've been reading a lot about Aboriginal art lately, and wishing I could convey some of the unique mark-making in non-western art. This is an attempt, I think it looks more African than Australian.
I used a patterned fabric for the base, which gives an extra richness to the finished Bauble.

    Hi Marcie, I found your blog a little while ago I think through either Paddy's Daughter or Susan in Stitches. I just adore your baubles and the 'Aboriginal' art is amazing, yes it does have undertones of African, but it's all tribal. The colours are beautiful and make me wish I could touch, it looks very tactile.

    yeah I think I'd have to agree with the African feel - wonder if you got a comment from an African person whether they'd see it as Australian ?
    In any case, very noice
