Tulips
It's spring now here in Northern Europe, and that means tulips! Tulips are everywhere - in the gardens, in the parks, in the flower shops, on sale on the market place. Here in Finland we don't have tulip fields like they do in Netherlands, but in every garden there is at least a small flower bed full of tulips - red, yellow, orange, pink, white, and now also black.
I have posted here two images of tulips. The yellow ones are from a package of tulip bulbs, the red ones are from a 1613 book "Hortus Eystettensis" by Basilus Besler (reprinted in a 1999 Taschen postcard booklet "Flowers and Plants"). You can use these images or any other tulip images you like in your artwork for this challenge.
When your piece of art (which can be of any kind or technique, digital or manual) is ready, post your image on your blog or website, and then link it to the Collage Obsession challenge by using the Link feature of the site, or by leaving a comment with the address of your posting. (You can find this challenge also on the Collage Obsession's facebook site, and you can post your image on fb as well.)
I'm looking forward to seeing all the beautiful tulip pieces you wonderful artist will create!
