Hello,
nice to have you here!
Doors / Türen is the theme of the Art Journal Journey this month.
Doors....
Usually when I "do art" I think a lot.....maybe too much sometimes....so basically my art is in my head for at least a week or two. I think, I read, I research....and then finally I start. 
I have been reading Frank Kafka's Metamorphosis ("Die Verwandlung") with my students the past weeks and doors are a key element in his work. So Kafka inspired me to do something on doors.

In case you haven't had a chance to read it yet, try the free e-book! (Links above!)


I did two pieces. This one is the one I like most, but then my daughter (5) told me I should put the bug up on the top, because they can crawl everywhere.....
and I tried....unfortunately the printer pulled in my paper wrong so it looks a bit off!
Additionally, I am not sure if you can actually see, that I drew with metallic crayons! (I am sorry about the lousy scan, it is the first time, I am not happy with how the scans turned out!)

I hope, you enjoyed my work!
Have a nice day....and come back soon!
