Hi guys!Here is an example of the art Peice created to honor our mother. The background green is out of the lining 0f Dads old uniforn, the fag is half of the 1940's flag that is on Dads art peice, the letters are made from an old 1978 Frankfurt, Germany calender, the underlaying material is peices of mom's old night gown, lace from curtains she had on her windows, her old pink robe, an old Army parachute, a suit of cards (a royal flush) because she played the hand that life dealt her and played it well, a pocket flap off Dads uniform breast pocket, her Naturalization papers, old Germa documents, there are birthdates of us girls (example the letter "E" is under October, etc.) half a fingerprint of each daughter...the other half is on Dad's art peice. It has buttons off his old uniform, very small photos of Mom as a child, teen and adult in the letters. It takes a while to see it all. It will be framed in rough, oak fence (old horse fence) boards. Please ignore the white paper on the photos left...was a sticker I did not notice before we shot it. Hope you enjoy seeing these. The next one in line is honoring Larry and my life together called "The Rockin Sixties". Wont start that for awhile...house project comes first.
I love you all, Rose
