This clipboard is called "Great Expectations" (gee - imagine that)...the quote says: "I took her hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place; and, as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first left the forge, so, the evening mists were rising now, and in all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to me, I saw no shadow of another parting from her."
The photos are sweet - all featuring flowers. I love the one on the top right - it has an old shed and hollyhocks and a little girl - reminds me of my maternal great-grandmother's place - the old 'garage' and the hollyhocks.
The lower-left has a image of a seventeen year cicada. The mirror came out of an old accessories suitcase (I bought at Goodwill recently) - it was one that had elastic straps to hold a mirror (which had no frame on it).
This clipboard is called Doll - the middle photo had the name Doll scribbled on the top. The top photo is humorous to me - the images in the wall are apparently old fashion images (say Godey's or something).
I ripped a definition of Doll into the collage - the definition reads: "a toy in human form"
I love the background on this one - it is painted lace - I painted the clipboard and then laid the lace on it and painted it down in several colors and then pulled the lace off.
I am very happy with this one in spite of the mishap - I accidently spilled half a bottle of glue on it. I used a wet sponge brush and sponged, and sponged, and sponged away. The tea bag says "Fortune favors the brave" I have an old book lining with some quotes on it that I want to slip into the library card pouch when it dries.
These silhouettes of the girls are for my MIL for Mother's Day. I had fun with them. I love the frames - I would have not distressed them except one of them had some sort of green oxidation going on so I painted and sanded...(thrift store frames - what else do you do?)
BTW anybody want a clipboard? I will trade you for something - (I would love dozens and dozens of cardboard egg cartons (I am in the midst of a massive paper mache project) and I can always do clip boards or beads or...let me know...
I am also willing to give away - Intelligent Design or I'll Fly Away which you can see here: Design - is the big Sun and Fly Away has a big musical bird.
Wendy has snagged 'I'll Fly Away; and Christine has requested 'Great Expectations'
Fun. Here is some more stuff for you:
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for dropping by and commenting on the painting I did for my church last Sunday (Christmas Eve).
I also wantd to invite you to help yourself to the finished inage (completed this afternoon).
If you can use it in anyway, please feel free.
Had I known that you did this I would have mailed you the ten clipboards (from the business I closed down earlier this year) that I just recently broke down and gave to Goodwill! Darn It! You are so creative...I may try one of this clipboard projects myself! I wish I could help you with the egg cartons...but we don't eat much eggs around here ...unless we go out for breakfast ;)
ReplyDeleteP.S. When I was in undergraduate school I had to do a special project for my Adult Aging class...it involved visiting a nursing home...I went there once...and had to switch my project to an older couple that I knew at the time...the emotional anguish I felt went beyond my coping abilities...an area the Lord is certainly working on. I am also checking into the Samaritans Purse website..thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteMe, these are wonderful! What a great idea for collage. I wish I had some egg cartons to trade you for one of them, but we live in a small condo so all recycling heads out the door as quickly as possible.
ReplyDeleteWow do you have talent! i just love that first clipboard on the post with the open window, and also the I'll fly away one on the link
ReplyDeleteI would love to trade for the I'll fly away one. I actually have been living on eggs lately so I could send you a box of egg cartons, but it would take awhile to save up the cartons (till now Ive just been recycling them).
A Very Blessed Nw Year : ) Wendy
Those are really great Me, I love them!
ReplyDeleteWow, the stuff you make is just amazing. Have a very Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThese are so great! I bet your MIL was thrilled. I would be. I love the clipboards, too. I really really like your style of collaging.
