Hello all!<\/p>\n
For this week I had a pretty bad sinus infection, so I was out for the count for most of the week. I was unable to physically work on my art piece, but I started to think about what I wanted to do with the other pieces. I really like working with suitcases because I like the idea of them and how \u201ceasy\u201d they are to carve. I started to think about the story of suitcases and how those have been all over the world. I;ve always loved airports because people are going somewhere for a reason and I always want to know where people are going and why they are going there. Sometimes it\u2019s not a happy reason and sometimes it\u2019s an extremely exciting reason.<\/p>\n
Looking at the suitcase that I have from savers, I was wondering about where it had been and why it went those places. It\u2019s pretty beat up so I know that it was used a decent amount. From this thought process, I decided to stick with suitcases and carving those to tell their stories. I am going to get some hard-shell cases and try to tell some of their stories. One will be more sad, one will be happy, and other ones that I have not determined yet.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m pretty excited about this and can\u2019t wait to start to putting together the images that will be carved into the suitcases and think about the stories that they are going to be telling. My next step for this week is to finish carving my current suitcase and then get some more hard-shell cases. Once I get two or three more, I will start to put together what I want to carve into it.<\/p>\n
More to come later!<\/p>\n
