The Digital Dozen does...books!
11:35 AM
I know you're all excited because it's time for another week with the Digit-al Dozen! This week's theme is books and it's actually been a bit of a challenge for me because I read SO many books. Literally, I'm currently in the middle of four (yes, at once) because I can't devour them as quickly one at a time! This art work is for one of my favorite books. There were a lot of different ways I could have taken it because the particular book I chose has SO many gorgeous details and descriptive elements. The setting is just an amazing place. But when I held it up to a few people and asked them to guess the book, they all got it on the first try. Have you guessed it yet? It's for Memoirs of a Geisha. I really love books about Japan and China and it was such an easy read for me. It's a very moving book but it's not one of those I'm-gonna-cry-everyday-for-weeks kind of reads which really appeals to me. I wanted to capture the most important elements of the book so I focused on the red/white color scheme and on the umeboshi. I used some square glitter on the ring finger to simulate rice so that it would sort of resemble the onigiri with the bright red umeboshi plum at the bottom. Then I used some fans to sort of tie in the Geisha theme. I hope you really loved these! Please check out what my fellow book worms have come up with for today's theme and stay tuned all week for more books!!
