Lisa, looking particularly relaxed on our couch on a hot Saturday afternoon. Notice the interesting piece of art on the wall above her, and my mis-shapen knee in the lower left of the picture. I was still in my pj's at the time... go figure.
Lisa, now thoroughly annoyed at my picture-taking antics, has refused to smile in this one. Still, notice the wall decor... Let me tell you a little information about that shadow box.
This piece of interior art decor was at one point something very different, having once graced the ceiling instead of the wall. When we first moved into our present abode, we were treated to some very interesting light fixtures that immediately came down to be replaced with more desirable ones.
This frame had once been part of an elaborate fluorescent light fixture that hung down from the ceiling in the kitchen. We liked the frame so much, we decided it would make an excellent "shadow box".
I painted it black, cut the backing for the box, and put the fabric onto the backing. We happened to be in the right place at the right time to purchase these silk flowers on the cheap, (and voila!) creating this interesting design with the help of our dear Scott Schlosser.

Hello Anders,
Any relative of Justin's is more than welcome to link to my blog. Thanks for the feedback. And good on ya for recycling the frame and creating some original art! At first I thought, "Wow, that's a nice Oriental piece. I wonder if they bought it in Asia." The colours are great.
