It Takes Time to See
In this first piece I added a doll. I stayed away from making her to creepy. Her body has been coffee dyed. Cinnamon was sprinkled on while she was still wet. She smells good. I used a canvas board to mount everything on. This makes the piece stronger to hold the weight of the doll and tin. The pocket watch had been my grandfather's and it still works.
The In-LawsAlso mounted on a canvas board. I used the rust technique on the board. The leafs on the tree represent a family member.
The image is a post card I picked up in Sedona. The picture cracks me up. I'm guessing they were having a watermelon eating contest. If only these old pictures could talk.

At first I thought the watermelons where photo shopped in, what a great photo to use in the sweet piece. julie

I loved reading about these pieces I've been drooling over. They are so lovely. They need to be published. They are amazing. (the watermelon is one of my favorite parts - a fantastic photo to use, brilliant for many reasons!)
I have been talking about you with Mike Putman too. I first discovered him last fall through another blog and just about stalked him. Then I backed off a bit and found other victims to pester. We don't know each other well but passed a couple of messages last week and you came up in the best of ways. You must be bringing the whole world together! And, you're very popular - as you should be! You are emerging, exploding as of late, as a great and talented artist that everyone has their eye on my dear! Enjoy it!
Love this work. LOVE IT!
