So first, here is my framed Paris Thru a Knothole series, which fit in nicely, I think, in the entry location. After I finished framing it I thought about giving it to my daughter, but then I thought again and decided to enjoy it myself for awhile. She can have it after I'm gone, it will have more meaning then.
Paris Thru A Knothole
The Entry Now
There is a good reason for the odd arrangement shown below. First, I didn't realize until I was finished with the Child Annie that I had put my masking tape on crooked. After years and years of working in a financial world where EVERYTHING had to add up and be exact, I now tend to plow through life much like a bull on the run. (Editorial Comment: Actually her personal life was always like a bull on the run.) I was going to remove the canvas and replace it straight, but then the "eyes" of Child Annie kept bugging me -- too piercing and I couldn't get them right.
So I then gave it a Caseyesque treatment with a plaid overlay, better, but it didn't correct the original crookedness. When I got around to hanging all three pieces in the space formerly occupied by Sweeney Todd, I thought wait - if I just hang this crooked you don't notice my original error. Voila!
Also the one, framed work, is the one I had to cut down to fit the frame, it rebalanced the original work and ended up pleasing me more.

i love the way you framed the 3 knotholes! I like the arrangement of everything in your entry too. The wall color looks like it's almost exactly the same as my guest room. Most of my rooms are variations of green actually, lol. I figure I'll be used to green walls when I finally get put in a mental hospital. They're always green in my soap operas!
ReplyDeleteI don't really go to movies, but whenever I've seen Depp on a talk show, which is really rare, he seems like quite an intelligent man, and not one of those horrible fluffy 'stars.' He owns an island, and a vintage boat that's about 100 feet long. So cool!
Annie, I like your entry as well. The wall pieces look well placed and I wouldn't have noticed -- just would have thought "how lovely!"
ReplyDeleteJohnny Depp is the stepson of my acquaintance, June. June's sister is a very good friend of mine. When hubs and I were going to Paris, said sister (Susan) said she'd call Johnny and arrange for us to have dinner together. I about had a heart attack and quickly said, "NO NO NO NO NO!" I would have been too intimidated and acted like a stupid groupie or something. Really, I might have. I think he'd like me, really. We seem to have similar senses of humor. LOL So there's my story about Johnny Depp. I do adore him!
Well next time you call me, nothing more sexy than a drooling senior citizen.
