DESCRIPTION 

Fly Agaric Mushrooms is an art post card print of a chalk drawing by Geertje Kapteijns. Geertje is a visual artist living in Dordrecht in the Netherlands.

In Fly Agaric, you can smell the earth, feel the cool soil and visualize the forest floor. But don’t touch! As beautiful as the Fly agaric is, and as much as it reminds us of forests and gnomes and fairies from childhood imaginations, it isn’t a mushroom one wants to handle!

This is such a nice seasonal card to have during the fall as the wet autumns bring forth these beautiful fungi between August to December, depending upon where you live, of course. 

With its matte finish and rounded corners, it has a museum quality to it that feels elegant. 

MORE ABOUT GEERTJE

When Geertje’s children went to a Waldorf school, she was introduced to the way in which the seasons and annual festivals are celebrated and how children are able to be children during childhood. This has proved to be a huge source of inspiration.

She started making chalkboard drawings and over time, she released them as cards. The cards are small works of art that encourage a conscious reflection on a certain time of the year or a certain event and the feeling that goes with that. Drawings that make you look forward to remembering a beautiful moment.

WHY CHALK ART

There is something magical about a chalkboard drawing. Because of the black background of a chalkboard, you not only apply color when you start drawing, but also light.

Chalk as a material is vulnerable but also very flexible, you can make quick impressions with it, but you can also work with it in detail. The board drawings are transient, and eventually will be erased. However, this also creates space for a new drawing. Thankfully Geertje has shared her drawings with us to enjoy. 

Geertje uses this chalkboard chalk here for all her chalkboard drawings.
