often I think
that art is really about the
details...
my
Italian Beauties
have returned home
and
I have just loaded them
in my
so I have shot the details
to precede the pieces...
each piece is 8 x 81/2
they are transfers from antique post cards on muslin
with water color...
the paper ephemera includes: hand painted papers, wrapping papers, old Italian currency, book pages, and sheet music
each piece is stitched by hand on Khadi paper and
backed with fine sketch paper
the cloth remnants are from
old pillow cases, an antique wedding veil..
and vintage ribbon...
the stitched strips which are hopefully reminiscent
of columns
are the end pieces from my paper cutter...
they are named...
Pensive
Serenity
Treasure
Devotion
thank you for stopping by
the sweet life...
I hope your day is blissful
and your weather is
warmer...
I will return with my art journal
I am going to photograph all the spreads and the new cover...
it is in process right now
a 2 year journal
or I should say
journey..
ciao!
