I didn't add any embellishments of color or anything that would detract from the photo... I've used this photo sooooooooo many times that this time, I just wanted the kids and the simplicity of that. How many times can you "pink the cheeks" and think its cute? lol I was thinking maybe adding an old pencil.... like a handle at the top. I just need to set it aside and see what pops up. .jpg)
I used an old family photo from the year 1925. I color copied the image (a lot smaller, the original is 8 x 10) and ever so carefully cut out each row of children. I then, ever so carefully, glued them back together on top of another copy of the same exact photo. I glued small bits of black paper behind each child so that they will always appear to be "popping" out of the photo. I then surrounded the photo with raised edges, placed a glass top over that and then soldered the whole thing. (soldering is a lot harder than most people express! lol)I love the whole concept of the photo under glass, and I'm thinking I am going to do this more often as it was/is fun~ Maybe my soldering will improve! lol
WOW WOW WOW! I love your eye-popping piece! Beautifully done. Bravo! Yes, make more!!
ReplyDeleteLove that Cheryl, That is really the coolest pic. idea.... Not that I have ever soldered (on my ever growing list) But, I have read in several places that you need to flux more, if the solder is Not flowing smoothly ~ Worth a Try.....
ReplyDeleteKeep Up Your Great Creations

Love the way you did this photo. I totally love old photos like that anyhow, but the way you "framed" it makes it even more lovely! Your soldering looks pretty good to me, too. I used to do some many years ago on stained glass, but haven't done it in so long I would probably have to learn how all over again. You're doing great!
ReplyDeleteCheryl, Your soldered art looks great! What a neat picture you were able to use!
