Flag Day Honored


I created this a couple of years ago and it hangs in the corner of a small wall. It is a photo transfer and measures 3" x 31/2". I created this to honor my first husband and my son's father. He was drafted in the 60's and we met when he was still in uniform. The title is in numbers, the numbers from his "dog tags" minus the last one. It didn't seem okay to reveal all the numbers. Flag Day is on the fourteenth and this is my favorite little flag. My niece was born on Flag Day so the day holds memories and sweetness for me. I really like our American flag ... this was an easy creation.
I've worked all day in the studio. My love affair with the compass has been strained! ha I'm actually dancing my dance with the imagery....sometimes I am in control and sometimes I have a breakthrough and then the REAL dancing begins. I can't tell you how many times I have washed my hands. I've stopped for now, had a snack and popped the champagne for a refreshing glass....a transition between studio and now preparing dinner and looking into the real world for awhile...via TV.
