so right now, this sewing thing is NOT working...grrrr... trying to do this project for the second time..

this is another image i am trying to use... its from the early 1900's

This is my great grandparents, not sure of the year though..

so i am going to scan in some old photos that i have of people that have passed away... photos to come... and then quilt them together, and i got a good idea of using stitching thread to connect the photos

blog, what does blog mean... it seems like 4 letters put together to make a word that is a surreal idea... dali might like this word actually....


i want to use the images of my ancestors from almost 60 years ago and incorporate the paper we previously used and then sew into that paper with the quote either from the one i created or the one from my great aunt,

This quote is true and applies to me in so many ways... the things that happen during my processes when I do not expect it are the best disasters.

ANDY WARHOL

Andy Warhol. I am so drawn to him and his techniques. I saw the Jackie series in the Phila Museum of Art and was flabbergasted. The use text in his images is spare but effective, also his self-made famous quotes are short and to the point with a powerful and suggestive message.

Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.

I have Social Disease. I have to go out every night. If I stay home one night I start spreading rumors to my dogs.

The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet.


I really like the way he highlights the obvious in a not so obvious way...

TEXT

I am thinking of doing some sewing into the print... like sewing the words onto the paper after it is printed? I guess I would have to print it earlier than before it is due then....

I really like the quote that my great aunt Fannie used to say.. fear the living, not the dead....

and i came up with this one on my own.... no one forgets the truth, they just get better at telling a lie.

also, i think i might use an old image that i have from the 1940's that i was given by my aunt for it... hmm

so i am glad that we did the clay project... it was interesting to see everyone's stuff all together and how everyone interpreted it all differently...

yay first blog :)
