Families

I've been working on this collaged piece for a while now. It was commissioned by my sister-in-law, Pat. Pat has been taken by this style and wanted her family pictures arranged in this collage style. She's seen a picture like this, but I can't wait to hand it to her and see her reaction. It's very busy but I like it. The jewelry, lace, etc. belong to her and her family members and I incorporated it into the design. All our families are little collages. Each piece is important in its own right but put together, we make a lovely design. If you don't have a family, make one but joining a church and being part of God's family.

Exodus 1:21--"Because they feared God, he gave them families of their own."

I used the back of an old College Annual measuring 9" x 12 1/2." I used computer-generated copies of family members, other ephemera, lace, old music, gel medium, paint and jewelry.
