Day 16 - Abstract Art

Inspiration is everywhere, but I think one of the very best places has to be in works of art, particularly paintings.  But I'm not talking about just any painting -- let's use an abstract painting.

Kim is up with her card today, and she chose this painting for inspiration:
"Rorschach" by Andy Warhol c1984 (found on www.art.com)

And here is her card:


A challenge like this should really get those creative juices flowing, and it'll be lots of fun to see what everyone comes up with!!

{heehee, Kim here, since I had to add my pics after Pam wrote up the post, I thought I'd add a few of my own comments! Pam let me pick the inspiration piece for today and I have a feeling that many of you are groaning! Gotta admit, as a psychologist, the Rorschach was one of those tests I had to learn and it is very interesting! When I saw this piece by Andy Warhol, I got a huge grin on my face! The original Rorschach personality test is inkblots and since I have a bunch of ink...I decided to experiment! So I went old school and dropped some ink on glossy cardstock. Gotta admit I wanted to it to "look like" a butterfly and I think I got that in and "abstract" way! So what will you come up with? :)}

Mr Linky is back! This abstract was a very freeing activity ~ It got me to use my re-inkers in a new way.
