Past, present, future

Hi Everybody!

It's been another cold day here, and we have

been threatened with winter storms over the

next few days - I'm hoping they are wrong!

For Art Journal Journey, Erika's lovely theme of 

'tell me a story', I have a hybrid piece using  a canvas I made 

of some of my ancestors. I  placed them here onto a

grungy background. The original was made with various photo transfers, interspersed with scraps of old letters. My great grandparents are both there,my Mum, my grandparents, my great aunt, and I am hidden in the background.

I like having many layers, even though they are not all visible -

life is a palimpsest, one layer covering up and sometimes

erasing the other. People who lived before us are still

'with us'in our memories, they are part of us as we are a 

continuation of them:

And this is the tag I made for Tag Tuesday, theme 'silver':

'To speak is silver, silence is golden'

Would be a good tip for some politicians these days....

Some photos taken this week, mornings and

on my walks:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
