Memories Stirred

I was having a cup of tea and it lead to me making a project for Somerset Memories. I love it when this happens, but I find translating the memory to art a bit intriguing.  So, far what I have submitted has not translated into print.  Try, try again....so here is a peek at two art forms I attempted.  I can only give you a peek. It is frowned upon, on showing the whole art form.  They want the element of surprise, in their publications.  This is my Nannie Nonnie, my nickname for my grandmother, Winona.  She is holding my Dad, kind of looks like a baby photo of me  ;D    (I love her hat).

Here is another portion of the art. This is my Dad and Aunt Patty enjoying the great outdoors.  I will have to ask her, where this was taken?!  


I also made another piece of art reflecting my Mother's childhood.  There are not many photos of her as a child.

Her Dad was in the Navy, during WWII.  She was probably five or six, in this photo. She gathered seed pods and saved them to plant with him, when he returned. I simulated this memory using dried Morning Glory seed pods.  It is the little things that give us so much joy~

Do you have an unique way of displaying your memories?  I have thought about making shadow boxes-so many ways to do them.  What about you?  Any memories stirred? Those in the storms path are you getting ready?  It is nuts in my neck of the woods~ I was just out n' about getting supplies.

Be careful. Be safe!
