you might be familiar with this painting "the garden of death" by hugo simberg, a finnish artist - he painted it in the late 19th century in some versions and one of it can be seen as background picture on some blogs out there. i personally like another color version of it even better, the one that he painted as a fresco onto the walls of tampere cathedral in finland (1905/06).
i printed this picture and ripped it into three sections with the monk-like grim reapers. glued these down in my capolan altered book and "sewed" them with rubber stamp sewing patterns.
vielleicht kennt ihr dieses gemälde von hugo simberg, weil es (in einer anderen farbversion) das hintergrundbild auf manchen blogs ist. simberg malte es in mehreren variationen, und ich persönlich mag diese farbversion am besten, die er als fresko im dom im finnischen tampere gemalt hat. simberg beschreibt seinen "garten des todes" als den platz, an den die verstorbenen kommen, bevor sie in den himmel gelangen.
das ausgedruckte bild ist hier mit stempeln "genäht", natürlich in mein capolan altered book.
