Art Nouveau in April

A look at what I'm working on this month. I'm creating an Art Nouveau inspired page for Cobi .
Much of April has been about the dramatics of Eyjafjallajokull and I've tried to pronounce this intriguing name Eyjafjallajokull with the help of a tutorial on YouTube but with little success.
I was expecting to find a page for March on my return from Kerala but I haven't recieved one as yet and I was wondering if Eyjafjallajokull has something to do with it.

  1. Hmmm.... I am sure that Ann said she mailed your page. I will e-mail her and see if she knows what happened.

  3. Ruth - I too got impression that Ann had mailed the page long before Eyjafjallajokull erupted, I just hope its taking the long route to Bangalore and hasn't got lost.

    Mandy- according to wikipedia its supposed to mean 'island mountain glacier' in Icelandic.

  4. Maya - I got a an e-mail back from Ann. She mailed your page on March 23rd. That's been a whole month. Do you know if it usually takes so long? Ann and I are both worried that it has gotten lost. What do you think? She said she would make another one for you if the first was lost. Should we wait a bit longer? Can you check with your post office or would that not be helpful? Let me know what you think.

  5. Yikes! I even 'listened' to the word Eyjafjallaj at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyjafjallaj%C3%B6kull and still can't say it!

  7. Maya the motifs you got there look very promissing. that's the right style for Art Nouveau. I'm confident its going to be a lovely page, I haven't seen anything but beautiful work from you. I do have a request. would you mind sending along a newspaper page? I love the lettering in printing from India. I'd like to use it in my mixed media pieces. tia
