For my Granddaughters

My granddaughters names are: Francesca, Siena, Lennox and Ruby.  As a 72 year-old grandmother, I am keenly aware that my time here is limited. I wanted to create something for my grandchildren that would
outlast me. So, I chose to do these pieces on calfskin vellum. I applied the 23K gold leaf with instacoll and painted the letters with gouache. I took Jane Doherty's beautiful marbled paper and glued it on to mat
board to cut the mats. Then, with the help of Bob Zuranski, I was able to frame these pieces in time to be given as Christmas presents.

These pieces were done while taking Reggies's 26 seeds class for the second time. Thanks, Reggie, for another outstanding year!
