Aujourd'hui voici un petit hommage à l'arrière-grand-père de mon père.
Today here is a little homage to the great grandfather of my father.

Tel que vous le voyez ici, vers 1912, il pose pour la photo de mariage de sa fille
(qui ne sourit pas non plus d'ailleurs...).
As you see him here, around 1912, he stands for the wedding photo of his daughter (who doesn't smile either...).

Que regarde-t-il au loin?
(c'est le seul à ne pas regarder le photographe).
What does he look at in the distance?
(he's the only one not watching the photographer).

Il a déposé son monocle...
He has left his monocle...
A quoi pense-t-il?
Je ne le saurai jamais.
What does he think of?
I will never know.

Je me suis dit qu'un beau chapeau lui ferait peut-être plaisir...
I thought a nice hat would maybe please him...

Alors je lui ai fait un beau haut de forme.
So I made a nice top hat .
J'ai collé un papier d'emballage sur un carton,
I glued a packaging paper on a cardboard,
L'horloge est appliquée avec un pochoir
The clock is made with a stencil
Quelques papiers et tampons, et le tout est passé au gel mat
Some papers and stamps, and all is covered with gel matte medium
All the edges are shadowed with a marker.
Il ne sourit pas plus mais là il est vraiment sur son 31!
He doesn't smile more now but here he is really all dressed up!

Fabulous hanging, Lys with a wonderful post to go with it! I love how you gave him a top hat and all those great embellishments! A fabulous way to remember this handsome ancestor! Hugs!
RépondreSupprimerWhat a wonderful masculine make - a fitting tribute to your great-great-grandfather. I love how you have incorporated his photo, and given him a very smart top hat too. Great use of the monocle too to highlight France's most famous landmark.

This is stunning Lys! I love that you've used a picture of a relative and the way you tell the story is just perfect. I think the hat really finishes his look! Sorry my comment is rather late and thanks for joining us at Stamps & Stencils. Julia xx
