At a recent flea market shopping spree I saw this child's ironing board for $8.00. I told Denice that if I could get it for $5.00 I would buy it.
I am also cleaning up my basement and after, stress after, I bought the ironing board I uncovered six children's sized ironing boards. That I already bought. That were buried in my basement. That I forgot that I had.
So I told my friend Xela Garcia, Executive Director of Walker's Point Center for the Arts, this story. She must work well with a lot of artists because her instant response was, "Sounds like a series to me. There are seven deadly sins."
Never one not to appropriate a good idea that is not mine, I decided to venture into the world of series, something I have never done before.
I decided to work with all the things I bought at the same flea market where I bought the ironing board. The items seemed like they were flight oriented so I think this piece about Pride is going to be an Icarus story.
I worked some mixed media techniques on the board
Not sure why but I have fallen in love with resin
Thus we have Vanity (Seven Deadly Sins: Pride). It is 24"H X 14"W X 6"D. It consists of a Child's Ironing Board, Vanity Kickbusch Tumeric Can, Tin Type, Model Airplane Engine, Model Airplane Wings, 3 Metal Circles, Wood Block, 2 Metal Numbers and a Wood Caster.
OK, six deadly sins on children's ironing boards to go. OK, sure.
