“Sweet Marie” is one more piece that I made for the Threads of the Past exhibit.
The little girl in “Sweet Marie” came from an old scrapbook from the 1880s. Something in her pose and expression remind me of my grandmother, so I have named this piece after her.
My grandmother wasn’t born till the 1900s, but let’s not quibble about dates, shall we? 🙂
The rest of the image is made from bits of map and old poetry book, tissue, plus other painted and printed papers.
