Goofing around in China Town

5 of 31

Still working on my nephew and Alinda's visit here. China Town in Chicago - it was a very cold day but we had a blast. The food was Divine!
The assignment was to find your zodiac and imitate it.



Little details on my metal charms were inspired by Rebecca Sower. I twisted the beads on thin wire and attached it to the charm




I'm also glad to be using paper I've had for a long time.

I blurred 2 faces on purpose - did not get their permission to post their images.

Quote reads:
"If a man does not make acquaintances as he advances through life he will soon find himself left alone. You should keep your friendships in constant repair" Samuel Johnson.

Again some more picture from when Alinda and Jose came to visit. Alinda, I used the paper you gave me thanks :)

Wall Art

2 of 30
This was in China Town

Journaling Reads:
When Alida came to visit we took her to China Town. On the way there we saw this plain wall. Alinda Says "this wall needs some art, everyone against the wall." Now we became wall Art! It was fun just being silly. Dec 2007
Jose took these pictures from across the street.
