As part of the 3D tree, I am looking at the different mediums my family members (and I) work in. Some of us have varied interests (i.e. My grandmother Peggy, mother, aunt Barbara, and aunt Robin all sew). I am going to hang from this tree an item that represents for each type of medium. Here is the list I have come up with:
Paint Palette = acrylic/oil painter
Polaroid Film Sheet = photographer
Rubber Stamp = For those who created a rubber stamp.
A Beaded Bracelet = For those who make jewelry
Drawing Pad/Pen = For those who draw
A Mini-Handmade book = For those who do altered books/projects
Fabric on a Hoop = For those who quilt, and/or do embroidery
Something wooden = For those into woodworking
Fabrics/Needle = For those who sew
My intent is to have each person represented by the different work they do. So, say I’m putting my mediums on the tree, I would be represented in several ways, with several items. I am an artist, photographer, sewer, altered artist as well as a jewelry maker. I would get all of those hung from the tree. My purpose in doing this is to show that we are all multi-talented artists. I plan to make all of the items be painted in gold. The tree itself is in the tertiary colors.
