head games
























Another page from the watercolor book. This 'guy' was a sculpture/statue - head only - on the ground in the woods next to a fabulous house in Ann Arbor, where Jim and I were attending a wedding reception in 2006. As a photograph it was interesting but not anything extraordinary. When I cut him out and gave him a body I was really pleased with the results. 
The number 42 is an inside joke at our house - and to anyone who has truly asked, "what is the meaning of life?" and I've wanted to use a card of buttons for the five years I've had them! One upside to hoarding? Of course, just like the fabric, key and bingo card:). I still have a bunch of flocked wallpaper - anybody?

The merging of photography and art has become rather obsessive - I've done a dozen pages in just over a month. The common factors are that I took the photograph and, well, my love for texture, layers, layers and more layers. Other than that they are so dissimilar, I love it. As soon as I can get the right climate (errgghh), I'll photograph the other pieces.

What are you working on?

Comments

I so enjoy seeing your photos turned into art. And this one is no exception. I love how the hoarding has actually contributed to this lovely mixed media piece.

Patty, I am having trouble leaving comments because of that infuriating word verification. You have to approve all the comments, anyway, why do we need that, too? I've already tried THREE times to get these words and symbols right. Here goes my 4th and last attempt.
I didn't realize they were set up on my blog - I'll remove them right away! I hate those things and never get them right!
