MAIKO

Welcome to the Paper Funday Challenge for March 2023! Anything Goes! One of the things I love about being on this design team is that I get to try out new-to-me companies with unique designs. Sometimes I just look for unusual designs that I normally wouldn't choose. For example this month Star Stampz was one of our generous sponsors and I choose Maiko in Spring...so much fun and I've never painted a Geisha before!
I had to Google MAIKO to find out what it meant. A MAIKO is actually an apprentice GEISHA still in training. As for the coloring, most of the images of a MAIKO had a red umbrella and of course they wore white makeup.
I created an Art Journal page, along with a framed 5" X 7" picture. Both resized and printed with a laser printer onto watercolor paper.
Here is what I used for the Art Journal page:
1) Strathmore Watercolor Paper cut into an 8" X 8" piece;
For the frame I purchased a 5" X 7" inexpensive black frame off of Amazon. Here is what I used to create the picture:
3) Spellbinders Fragrant Flowers STP-033 (retired);
Here you can see the Daniel Smith Pearlescent White Watercolor Paint. Love the shimmer!
This was a really fun unique digital image and I thank Star Stampz for being our sponsor at Paper Funday Challenge! Come along and play with us!

  1. It's simply amazing what you've done with this image Anita. I'll admit, it looks intimidating at first but you've created 2 gorgeous pieces using it for The Paper Funday Challenge.
