INSPIRATION ART

Week Four
(a)
march 1, 2009

the inspiration:

the result:

front cover
'memento'
inside
inside left
inside right
back
small tin, doll arms, string, moss, mirror, clock parts, beads, embellishments, assorted papers, paint, tulle, ink, glitter spray, sticker.

on the piece: I immediately knew I wanted to use a container. I also knew I didn't want to use stamps, but wanted to maintain the travel theme. Trinket, souvenir, memento, memories......time travel! The trinket box came together as I sat and stared at it. It was a lot of fitting and gluing and ripping off pieces and walking away and eventually it came together and I was sufficiently satisfied with it. It's a trinket box from the fourth dimension, which I slip in and out of from time....to time.

i love it, i love the colors and the construction aspect of it and the intimate format of a little box and the reference to reverence (ha)...it also fits together with everything else you've been making. you should make a bunch of these little containers that open to reveal ...

yeah i realized that yesterday when i finished it...i use similar colors (namely golds of course) and they usually turn out to look fairly reminiscent of each other ...so i also thought that i should stick with the container...goldish...odd thing and see what happens.

thanks!
