Thirty-One Days of Wunderkammer
Hi! It's been so long maaan.
Deep down I know I should be busy doing other things (like my university assignments☺), but I ended up spending the first few days of this week doing personal projects that I've always wanted to do. I'm not proud of it and I feel irresponsible, but I couldn't help it. Those assignments are using way too much of my left brain, and I just need some quality time with the other one.
Those projects include the last few pieces of my Inktober 2019 (wow, now 2019 feels like decades ago). A little back story: I first discovered the term 'wunderkammer' while reading Austin Kleon's Show Your Work about a year ago. It was apparently fashionable to have a 'wunderkammer' or 'cabinet of curiosities' in the 16th / 17th century. Back then, people filled it with remarkable objects that interested them, like skeletons, minerals, artifacts, books, and jewels.
As Inktober was just around the corner, I thought it would be pretty cool to combine these two main ideas. So I decided to call it Thirty-One Days of Wunderkammer. Here are the 31 objects that would probably be in my wunderkammer - had I ever have one (I'm actually collecting most of these in real life, but there's a few that I can only wish to collect).
Aaand it's a wrap! Along the way, I learned some technical skills as well as some life lessons. Overall, it was so much fun. But there were also moments where I felt like giving up. Thankfully, I was oftentimes reminded of Jake Parker's words 'finished, not perfect', and they kept me going.
Looking forward to finishing more art projects (and blog about it)!
Love lots,
Emily
