Rain's Thursday Art Date: Points and Dots

Today is Thursday, which means we're meeting at Rain's for her Thursday Art Date.  This week the theme is Points and Dots.

Let's start with some points.  First there are the points on the compass and second there is the pointing hand.

That was straight and to the point.  It's in my Hands altered book.

This was for a weekly challenge.  It appears this was for week 18 of 52 weeks.  I hope you see (and read) the bit of humor, or possibly the premonition of our future, in this entry.

This may or may not be pointing, but it's a painting/collage from the Wichita Art Museum.

This hand, also found in my Hands altered book, is pointing to two Queens.

Here I'm pointing to something in my Hands altered book.  I wondered why my fingernail looked  so weird.  It's because the beige in the background is showing behind my nail.

In this photo, I'm pointing to the number of pages I will need for my niche in my latest altered book.

I'm pointing to how to install a zipper in an altered book.  Ironically, it's in my Hands altered book.

Here is a print my friend gave me of Georges Seurat's famous A Sunday on La Grande Jatte that I introduced him to when we went to the Art Institute in Chicago, Illinois.  

The print is wrapped in plastic on which my friend wrote his message. 

This is what it looks like without the garish lighting.  In case you didn't know, Seurat is famous for a painting technique called pointillism.  It's made up of tiny dots.

I'm not sure these are dots, because technically, I think dots are round.

This is for my 7 Continents altered book.  I added dots to the letters in the word India.  I apologize for the glare.   I was using two full spectrum Ott lights in an attempt to show how beautiful this painting was.

A page from my altered recipe book, these are BIG dots!

I created this tree that has magnets on the back so I could put it on my refrigerator door during the Christmas holiday.  I actually painted this myself and was rather satisfied with the depth I got.  After I added the dots, I thought they cheapened the overall effect of the tree.  The tree was cut from a piece of heavy chipboard.

More hearts, this time in the shape of a tree.  I outlined each of the hearts with dots made from several metallic gel pens.

I think I'm going to stop here, even though I probably have lots of pointing hands in my Hands altered book.

All altered book and journal art created by me.  All photos taken by me.  Bleubeard slept until I put my hand on him and started rubbing the top of his head.

Thank you beyond belief for stopping by.  I am truly grateful to you, my friends, followers, readers, and lurkers for visiting.  Please also join me at Rain's Thursday Art Date.

Today is Day 12 of AEDM, where I joined a link-up party and shared art and photos I have created in the past.
