:::History:::

Posted on February 24, 2008 by gothicarches

Our hostess this week is Heather Robinson who has selected the theme “history”. Heather created this gorgeous arch depicting events from the “Titanic”. She challenges you to make a gothic arch using events from your personal history or history in a broader sense.

Rubber stamping launched me on the artistic journey that I am on today. Although I don’t use rubber stamps in the same way today, they still make their way into my artwork. My interests now lie primarily in mixed media, collage and altered books and I just can’t seem to shake an obsession with using wax in my artwork.

Another passion of mine is history and that is the theme that I have chosen for this week’s challenge. This can be personal history or you can think about history in a broader sense. Perhaps you are moved by a particular event or person. I am fascinated with all things
“Titanic”, especially the stories about individuals who were on the ship and that is what I hoped to capture with my arch this week. I look forward to visiting your blogs and seeing your interpretations of the theme.

    Hi,
    this is one of my favourite “Objects of Beauty”. I would love to participate.
    My entry my be a little bigger than a piece of paper… It is our Art House. It all started with the discovery of 7 old gothic arched windows from 2 different churches found in very bad condition. But you don’t come across these every day so we built our house using them as key points in it. We brought them back to life & even turned one into an interior door. It has been a labor of Love.
    my url is gwenbuchanan.blogspot.com
    please note specific day entries for quick viewing…
    Feb.8… pair of our red gothic arch Front doors
    Feb. 12… Exterior view of our home we designed & built ourselves… took 8 years.
    feb.14… the woodstove we use to heat our home
    Feb. 21 … 10′ gothic arch in our kitchen that we viewed the lunar eclipse from
    Feb. 25…our bathroom door made from an old gothic window from 150 yr old window
    Feb. 26.. an early morning view from gothic window in same bath

    We love art & we work big sometimes & yes I went on too long but you have a topic here that I absolutely LOVE.

    thanks, gwen buchanan in New Brunswick canada
