Pick an object of importance and make a 'box' that incoorporates the meaning of that object.
Explanation: The object that I
chose, was the fortune cookie that my Father Proposed to my Mother in. She
keeps it in her room in a plastic box with her name painted on it. I thought
that this would do it more justice. It has been 21 years that my parents have
been married and they deserve something to honor that. The biggest section is
where the fortune cookie is placed, the next three smaller sections represent
the three times they coincidently met that got my father to ask my mother on a
date.. It represents the three months it took for my parents to move in together.
It represents the three children they have, and with that being said.. It
represents the promise they made to each other on their wedding day. There is
one small section for the engagement ring, and the other two small sections
will hold each wedding ring. The shape of the box is a wave and represents the
ocean. They had their wedding ceremony in Boca Raton, Florida.. Which is where
my father was transferred to three months after they met, which is also where
my mother was originally from and had just moved from. This was a very special
project for me and was made with a lot of thought and care.
SO.. Last Saturday I went down to the River City Market in Kansas City, Missouri. I visited many antique shopes searching for some projects for myself to work on over the summer. AT LAST, I stumbeled upon three different chairs in which I bought to refurbish into three seporate styled unique designs of my making. The next few pictures are some designs and inspiration that I have taken the time to research to construct my summer projects. By the end of the summer I will post before and after pictures as well as pictures from my process. STAY TUNED :)
