OOAK - One Of A Kind, Altered Photograph

"Smile" - OOAK, one of a kind, altered photograph available in my online shop on Etsy - The Other Jeanie. This is Francine, my muse. She's my vintage French doll from Paris. She's holding one of those iconic "Smile, Have a Nice Day" little stickers in her wee little hand. This piece is very unique and the surface is textured with acrylics and I "spot varnished" the smile sticker, so it's super shiny and visually pops! The sides are finished black and there's the word "smile" hand written on all four sides. I remember posing here on my "holiday table". I used fishing line to hold her up and animate her arms and body. (She was thrilled and giggled the entire time.)

OOAK - One Of A Kind, Altered Photograph

"Blondies Big Blue Eyes" - OOAK, One Of A Kind, altered photograph available in my online shop - The Other Jeanie. This vintage doll I named Blondie. She's very cool and this original, unique piece is 8" x 10" with 1 1/4" sides. The surface is treated with acrylics and is very textured. I've spot varnished her lips and eyes - so they POP and are super shiny! Here's another view of the piece. She's wired and ready to hang, as all my "altered photographs". Also, each piece is hand numbered on the back, and signed, titled and dated.

OOAK - One Of A Kind, Altered Photograph

"Small Heart In Hand" - OOAK, One Of A Kind - available in my online shop on Etsy - The Other Jeanie. This is my Francine doll, again. She's vintage. She's French. And, she has an open mind. (literally) I've hand written the lyrics from Tom Petty's song on the surface in acrylics. The surface is textured and the "red heart" is spot varnished and super shiny for POP factor! The sides are finished and it's wired and ready to hang. Each of my pieces are signed, dated, titled and numbered on the back.

Interview Coming Soon

Felicia Kramer, fellow artist and Etsy shop owner, new friend and new neighbor - tracked me down, interviewed me, and is currently writing a little story about me. It will appear on her blog. Thank you so much Felicia.

Discovering Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

Chris took me to this lovely "nature center" this morning that's only a few miles away. It's called the E. L. Johnson Nature Center. Looking forward to visiting when the leaves turn and when it snows.... oh my! (this website needs my photographic eye, it's way better in person. I think they need my services). Big thanks to my new friend and neighbor, Felicia Kramer, for reminding me to take a little break, to go out and explore my new neighborhood)
"More than thirteen thousand years ago, a melting glacier left behind massive piles of sand and gravel that formed the "hills" of Bloomfield, and shaped the original landscape of the area now known as the E. L. Johnson Nature Center. Melt waters created the small tributary of the Rouge River that crosses the property, as well as the low depression that later became an inland pond. A variety of plants and animals inhabited the property over the ensuing years, mainly influenced by the warming climate. There is no evidence of human activity on the property prior to settlement days in the early 1800’s, but it is known that natives often traveled in the area, and they very likely fished in the surrounding lakes."
