My life has been crazy busy lately...but to take a break and to keep my sanity
I have been working on my newest project and fascination... "Lineage"

Now it starts to come to life as I sift through my husbands stash of old family photos.
Where do we come from? Who are my relatives? What do they look like?
The combination of the pictures, symbols and ephemera (a ripped page from a phone book as my husbands Mom was a phone operator, a note from his Dad when he was with the Flying Tigers during the war.) It's not done yet, there are more layers to weave throughout, but fingers crossed it will be done for Father's Day.

I love this, Angela! What a beautiful piece.
Awesome idea. So thoughtful.
I love mood of your work here, the sense of history. I love our flag. The Flying Tigers – amazing to have ties to such a legendary group.
A beautiful way to preserve family memories.
