Jen Conde's Paintbox


I've just completed my double page spread in Jen's book and what fun it was working in it! The section of the poem that I chose to use, reminded me so much of my husband, Bruce's, experience of art class during his schooling years, that I used a tape transfer of one of his school photographs as part of the image! As well I made Bruce the male character in the story. The 'school house' is a photograph from an old photo album that his mother once owned. This theme is a lot of fun, I found it a very enjoyable book to work in, the tin container is a fantastic idea which works so well with the theme!
