Craft Barn Alpha Challenge: Letter Z

The next letter in this challenge is Z. Quite a challenging letter I think.  You can check out the challenge and other fabulous entries HERE.  Calling on my interest in Buddhism once again, I've opted for

ZENDO: a Buddhist mediation hall, more specifically for sitting meditation.


Feeling in need of a Zen-like day, I've opted for a Zen like page. I lightly gesso'd over the background, then stamped the meditating buddha images onto tissue paper, before glueing to the page.  Strips of black paper frame the 'hall'.  Red crystals where applied for a halo of stillness.  

I'd like to thank everyone who takes the time to leave me a comment, I really appreciate it.  I'm delighted to hear  I'm not the only one with a reluctance to embrace OIKOLOGY!!

    Visiting from The Craft Barn - Fabulous page - It always amazes me the variety of stamps available. I would never have guessed a Buddah stamp was 'out there' :0)

    Your page sends out a tranquail vibe as I would expect your would feel when entering a zendo - very cool depiction. I think it just captures the essence really well.
