Manly Constellation
Elements from old clothing catalog and antique maps.
Jumping Off the Moon
My Sunday afteroon project.
It is a beautiful day. Had a great bunch with Jackie at Pips on LaBrea.
Bowling at the Pyramids
The newest travel sensation! Bowling at the Pyramid. Complete with scribes that keep score.
Riding the Solar System
Elements were taken from old books on cycling, astronomy and gymnastics. The background is a blank page from one of the books.
Diving Into Saturn
Now I just had too much fun creating this one.
Climbing Out of a Good Book
Reminds me of a Jasper Fforde book.
Happy Father's Day
My father followed a long line of "tillers of the soil" from 16th century grape growers in Germany to modern day wheat farmers in Kansas. He was proud of his heritage and proud of the farm originally homesteaded by his parents in the early 1900's. My parents moved on the farm soon after their wedding (after an extended honeymoon in Mexico). Here they raised their family and prospered as a result of their hard work.
Today I remember my father as a good man, husband, citizen, and mostly for being my daddy.
Smoking
And here is my second composition for week 3 of Claudine Hellmuth's on-line collage composition class. I love making these. I usually start by selecting an image that will serve as the main focus and then let it lead me to the finish product. The man smoking is a great image. I wonder what his real story is?
