IC799 - Homebnc - thought I spent 10 minutes looking at fun stuff on that board, but it was an hour and 10 minutes! I pinned a bunch of great home ideas - wow. This picture inspired my stenciling although you can't see the arrows very well after my items were added - there are three of them - two at the top and one at the bottom. I had already made the the scrabble tiles and cardboard last night and needed something else so this was just perfect inspiration:
MMJ017 - Corrugated Cardboard Mixed Media - it is about time I made this since this was my idea - LOL! If you haven't ever participated in the MMJ challenges here on SCS - we would love to have you come hang out with us.
Mission Inspiration - a Facebook Challenge by Mike Deakin Art - this was the mid month challenge and the prompt is Repeat - copy, reuse, repeat. I have three TH dolls, I repeated the stencil arrows three times, and I think the corrugated cardboard patterns, the scrabble tiles, and the two lines of border faux sewing work.
**ART*JOURNAL*JOURNEY* - single flower - that is why there is a giant flower on this page - lol.
If you are still with me the story behind this is a series of things that recently happened. My daughter found a free app where you scan in a picture and it brings it to life. She spent all last weekend bringing old pictures to life. She did one of my Mother and I watched that thing and cried for hours. I realized that app can be dangerous.
Then my daughter brought me over an old box that was at my Mom's house (my daughter recently moved in there). It was full of old photos from my Grandmother, my Mom and me. I was in that box for hours as well. I traveled down many memory lanes and another few hours were gone.
Then the words came to me: The Past is a Dangerous Muse. This page started coming to life. The picture here is circa 1965. The boy on the left slammed my finger in a door sometime around the time of this picture. It cut off the tip of my finger. The doctors sewed it back on but it is definitely different than my other fingers. The little girl next to him is my Sister Sara. I lost her a few years ago when her mother-in-law hired someone to kill her. The girl next to her was my best friend Tina - she was one of my favorite friends of all time. I still think of her and wish we could have stayed close. I am sitting next to her.
So interesting what captures our time and inspires us. Many hugz
