The Sisters

 

i tried to do some clay mono printing that resulted in

a major fail. i could have kept trying but when it dawned

on me that i was limited to the material i could print on

i decided to try something different. i purchased a Gelli

Plate last year and had never even opened the package

so i dug that out and started experimenting. i'll have to

say...my first few prints were failures also. the majority

of my paints are not heavy bodied and trust me when i

say...it makes a BIG difference. i'm going to have to

"rob peter to pay paul" and go on a paint buying spree.

(i say that like it breaks my heart...snerk!)

 

that's my mother in the lower right corner and the

middle of the three girls. the others are her sisters.

i've got a box of old family photos that i don't think 

either of my children will be interested in saving

after i'm gone. i decided to put them all in an art

journal in hopes that maybe that will entice one

of them into continuing my position as the

family history keeper. i plan to include an index

in the journal with the names and a little history

of who is in each piece.
