Well, at least this billhead says that He did - in 1931. Not only that, but he got his perfume from L.A.!!! This is a color copy of the very first piece of paper that I purchased. It is very light, thin and a carbon copy at that, so I got scared about putting my art work on it. I went to our local print shop and had them make color copies of the original, and then I put my art work on the copies. I then 'aged' the paper with an emory board and light sand paper. I have a portfolio of all the pieces that I've done - actually copies, and this is the first piece in binder. It's an opening when I go looking for old paper in places I've never been before. I ask if they have any old paper, and they ask "What kind of old paper"? That's when I open the binder... This is a perfect example of a textual hook to hang a visual fish on.
I like this one too, carbon copy or not.

An absolutely gorgeous perfume bottle!
ReplyDeleteYou refer to putting your art work on the copies (plural); usually you only do one, right? One could guess that its a tribute to the loaves and fishes miracle, or because it came to you as a carbon copy, but perhaps you could elaborate....
This piece is gorgeous. I think it's my favorite because I love how the perfume bottle goes with the "old paper." You do simply incredible work. It is so exact and precise.
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a kind comment. As promised, I am back enjoying more of your art now that the dust has sort of settled on the Collaboration.
