still life

i had a postcard challenge of 'still life'. it automatically evokes thoughts of fruit in bowls, or the paperbag my high school art teacher made me draw. so, i decided to reach a little further instead. hunny and i went to vegas a year ago to get married. after the ceremony we went to dinner at the tao. this statue is in the lobby there. i touched it up a bit, and printed onto a transparency. i made a base postcard, and used silk roving and glue to create a frame for it. then i mounted the transparency to the top, and stitched around the edges. still life takes on a whole new meaning...
