bottlecaps and the yellow dress

July 29th, 2009 · 4 Comments

we had my daughters 30th b day luau last sat-i’m happy to say that it was a huge success! between parties, summer and commitments-it’s a wonder i get anything done. i am behind on projects-but i am ok with that-as i have decided that this is the year of “if it’s meant to be created or finished-it will-if not-so be it”.

 i should be updating my web site-instead-(since i had so much fun with my bottlecap chair) i did a mirror.

the wonderful image is from one of my favorite artists, outi harma. as soon as i saw it-i had to have it! it is titled “i don’t care about your yellow dress”.  you can see more of outi’s work at www.outiart.com

    The mirror is magical. It captures what we all want when we look in a mirror “Bright Lovely Clear Brilliant”.
    To me that is what the anticipation of looking into a mirror suggest. You want to find out if you still look O.K.
    How many times as a kid did you say “Mirror mirror on the wall”? And the brilliance of your mirror suggests all that and more to me.

    i like the idea that mirror’s have a bit of magic-
    this mirror is in fact a “found treasure”- a lone mirror (without it’s dresser) from the early 1900’s. i wonder how many images it has reflected through the years?

    You did it again with bottle caps. I like the title too. What a fun thing to do and in your hands it becomes a piece of art. I want to look into this. Yesterday I went to an antique market and everywhere I saw people selling bottle caps. I guess I should start collecting some. I am curious…did you paint the inside of some of these?

    hi phyllis,
    for some of the centers ii printed images and cut them out, used old music sheets (another collection) and beautiful papers. other caps i just left plain, or dressed up with a bead. no rules just fun-can’t wait to see your creation!
