Oz: the Great and Powerful Art Journal Page Series

With the movie Oz: the Great and Powerful coming to theaters in March, I thought it would be fun to do a series of art journal pages tied to the Oz books of L. Frank Baum. We will start with the first book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. You must include an element or a character from that book. Characters are not necessarily exclusive to any particular book because several of them recur throughout the books. Nevertheless, if you choose a character, they must have appeared in this book.

For future reference, these are the Oz books (and the order we will be using them): The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, The Marvelous Land of Oz, Ozma of Oz, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, The Road to Oz, The Emerald City of Oz, The Patchwork Girl of Oz, Tik-Tok of Oz, The Scarecrow of Oz, Rinkitink in Oz, The Lost Princess of Oz, The Tin Woodman of Oz, The Magic of Oz, Glinda of Oz.

Now for the nitty-gritty! You will have only one partner per swap. Your page must either be 5”x7” or 4¾”x7” for international swappers due to postal restrictions and costs – so you may not receive the size page you sent out! I'm also allowing for the holiday season and having this swap due out in January.

You may use any medium you wish – collage, fabric, paint, ink, charcoal, etc. Please, no nudity or scandal! You will be creating an art journal page to be added to an existing journal. Let me know by PM if you have any questions. You can also let me know in the comments below, keeping in mind it may be a day or two before I get back to you. Have fun!
