i presented this project for the second part of my experimental

art group presentation.  i called mine

house of memories

a template was used to cut the houses for each 'room.'

cover

i added bits and pieces that I found in my collage drawer.

there is a bit of screen i used in making paper, a clock

piece i got as a trade at art fest and some paper treasures.

this is the house my grandparents lived in when they

moved to los angeles in 1917.  i love the car parked i

n front but i don't think it was theirs.  i cut the house shapes

from 140# watercolor paper that i had painted and had not 

finished.   i will show you the back of the house after it is completed.

here is a pic of the clan~~ my great grandfather and great grandmother.  

hmm... they don't look very  happy.  no one is smiling.  this week 

my dishwasher,  dryer, refrigerator and printer broke.  i had to do many

chores by hand.   i wouldn't have made a very good pioneer

woman and can see why the women at least are not smiling.

posting on saturday this week with paint party friday.
