This is my 2nd 12x12. It is my older sister. A lot of detail is lost and it was a round about way to get this up here.
the back ground paper is Thoms Kincade from color bok.
The poem is Bed in summer by Robert Louis Stevenson. The vellum is torn and edged in gold.
In winter I get up at night
and dress by yellow candle light
In summer quite the other way
I have to go to bed by day
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping in the tree
Or hear the grownup peoples feet
Still going passed me in the street
And does it not seem hard to you
When all the sky is clear and blue
And I should like to play
To have to go to bed by day
The frame box is sizzix dies punched from bazzil card stock. the jelly frame is wrapped with 1 strand of gold from enbrodery floss. and the frame is around a gold leaf skeleton.
The picture is my older sisters graduation picture mounted on bazzil cardstock and black paper. the gold on top is gold embrodery floss that has been frayed and threaded through 2 MM eyelets. The corners are individual strands of gold sewn over the corners. The whole picture is done like a card that opens for me to place my journaling that i am still working on! It will be more on the big sister thing.
The bottom piece of vellum is torn and dragged in gold also. I did not have any luck embossing so I used gold stickers for her name and year.
This is the LO that impressed my DH so much.
Update: I did the journaling!
This is what is in side on the left side:
What an odd poem for a graduation picture. I wanted something dignified and beautiful. However this is my album so I chose something significant to me and to my sister. This particular poem is one I had not set eye to as a child but knew by heart. This was my sister’s doing she taught it to me as a small child. It was probably the Thomas Kincaid paper but when I looked for the poem this is what came to mind. The first time I had seen the poem in print was in a booked that Toney gave me “ A Child’s garden of Verse” by Robert Louis Stevenson. Illustrated by Thomas Kincaid. I know my grandmother also had a copy of this book.
This is on the right side:
My sister is 11 years older than me. At the time of her graduation at 17 I was just barely six. The most significant thing about her graduation is that we picked up my first kitten right after it. However I can better recollect her graduation than my own. To me then at that time she was less sister and more Goddess. To me she will always be a beautiful and powerful. I now know her more as a person but I never want to forget her as I felt about her then, with awe and admiration.
