Old home place

April 20 2008
Matthew 19: 19 Honour thy father and thy mother:
and , Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
This is some handmade paper that I made and embossed with a tile plate that I also made. I used a press to get the embossing. Quiet an experience
but I loved doing this. It was done from a picture of the home place where my husband was raised after some additions were added. As you might know that this kind of paper is really hard to paint so I used a number of paints, like colored pencils, watercolor, crayons and ink. If you would like to know more about this kind of work you can contact me at my email address. louisespell@msn.com .
