I've been scanning in old family photos to possibly use in my platter pieces. These are of my dad and his brothers in the late 1950's and early 1960's. My favorite is the one in the car. I will probably start a piece with this photo this week.
What cool old pictures! I'll bet your family would like a copy of them too. My mom is in the process of scanning in 600+ of her family's old black & white photos so everyone can have a copy - lots of work! But in the end it will be worth it.
I'll be curious to see what kind of cool art stuff you end up making with those photos. I hope you will post a picture of the finished product on your blog. :)
I am a metalsmith, educator, wife, and mother, living the life of an ex-pat in Doha, Qatar. I moved to Doha from Arizona, where I had previously spent most of my life. I earned a Bachelors of fine art in metals in 2006, and a Masters of Fine Arts in Metals in 2010. I was the resident artist at the Mesa Art Center from 2010-2013, and an adjunct professor in metals at Central Arizona College. I am currently trying to balance navigating/living in a foreign country with being a mother and a practicing artist. My blog is a place for me to share my thoughts, experiences, successes and failures with you.
