L'uccello Grande nel Cielo is my Italian translation for The Big Bird in the Sky. Creating consellation maps was one of the many fun projects I did in Jill Berry's Journal Map-Making class at Artfest 2011 last week. In this case, I used one of my previous sketches and then added the stars, the neatline (map border) and the cartouche.
This was my third year at Artfest and it continues to be as much fun as ever except for the food. They feed us locally grown fresh food that includes vegetables I have never heard of which is saying a lot since I was grew up on a farm in Kansas.
But it is not about the food but about the art and the people. I came back full of inspiration and hopefully will be posting more of my work on the blog in the near future.
