Do you know where the phrase "the apple of my eye" comes from? This was a question posed in my "Falling For You" class; we were challenged to complete an art journal page using apples and giving an explanation for this expression.
Using the Hebrew phrase "Little Man of the Eye", I found a pretty lady and drew some little men in her eyes. I sketched a table on the right and placed a plate of apples on it. They came from Mussle Man's Natural Applesauce - I love using kitchen labels! As usual, the right side of my page was getting a little heavy, so I outlined my spread to tie everything together and stenciled a nice (apple and heart) tree for my lady to lean against. Also added some stencil flowers. And fallen apples, which I love.
Yes, I'm getting metaphorical...
I found this spread to be lighter than my previous pages, a deliberate effort on my part.
And who's the apple of your eye? {:-D

The page looks great--I like the red on the sides. And It is fun to learn about the phrase.

Fun! I definitely didn't know that.
My favorite part are the little men that you put in the woman's eyes. Very clever!
I really love this page! Love the colors, the little men, the hebrew text, the background... all of it, really!
Thank you for participating in It’s a Wrap Link Party at Artful Rising!
