A "Deck of Art" is basically artwork created on the backs of a deck of playing cards. I started this project participating in a challenge on a forum - you can read more about it in the very first post of this blog. Mine is slightly special in that it is a "mini scrapbook" with a photo on each card, and I'm using it to explore my childhood along the themes given in the challenge. This should be an interesting exercise because I don't remember all that much, or at least I don't think I do, yet when I ponder a while things do come to mind... The journals are mounted to the suit side of the cards and I will include them in my posts, followed by specification and credits on materials used.
Clip journal reads: "I don’t remember Mother Goose from Germany, but Mum and Nan started a veritable collection of fairytales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen for me. They came with records as well as big picture and text books, and I got one or two of those for every occasion: birthday, Christmas and Easter. In the picture, Grimm’s “Sterntaler” record sits between all the chocolate eggs and bunnies, and I’m reading the book. The photo is Easter 1970." "Stern" is the German word for "star" - hence the theme for the deco...
Background is some embossed star paper - no idea where that came from... The stars are Jolees by You and the peel-offs from Craft Creations.
