Photo Arts I - SCRAPBOOK
Photo Arts Scrapbook ~ Enjoy!!
My scapbook was entirely made by me. I bought large watercolor paper, then cut and folded them into mini books. I then put all of the books together into a larger book. The cover is made of scrap upholstery, embelishments, and printed images from the internet.
I entitled my scrapbook - "Overlooked in the Pit of my Pocket"
The introductory page....
Some of my favorite pages.......

All Black & White are mine...I think they turned out really good!

FINAL PROJECT ~
My final project idea was to combine the everyday world of ordinary people and objects that we sometimes take for granted. I wanted my idea to mirror the theme of our scrapbooks that was assigned to everyone at the beginning of the class. The scrapbooks were to include at least 2 news articles from any local newspaper each week, as well as our best pictures that we took and developed, and above all to find and include any "visual culture" that was all around us; objects that we may not regard as interesting or worthy of recognition.
My final project was to reflect the "visual culture" that we use, see and discard everyday. People too whom we may see everyday, and pass on the street are also deemed as our "visual culture" that we take no thought or importance to...the world around us as part of our everyday. I wanted to bring out the "everyday" into a different, noticable light of recognition and attention. Even the picture frames themselves are different and that we see so often in every home. I didn't, however, want the pictures or objects to be behind glass, thus to bring more attention to one than another. Every picture and object are to work as a whole, not singled out as being more important than the other(s).

Sunday Tote Bag
I made this tote bag for my dear friend, Mandy, for her birthday last month. She asked for one last year, but I finally had time to do it before Christmas. She loved it...and I do too.
The pattern of the houses and the angel are from Nancy Halverson from "Art to Heart". The angel is one big pocket, as well as the antique rose and the houses!
Victorian Doll
I made this doll for a Christmas gift. I think the bonnet adds a touch of cuteness! Enjoy the pics.
