take a word: album

this upcoming week take-a-word challenges us to take album photos… i decided not to go with my family, but to take pictures of marionettes from scott radke (featured in an older issue of art-doll-quarterly), because i like their melancholy expressions very much. [i really would love to own one of them, but they sell out faster than i get a chance...] – i took a file folder i spray painted recently, text is die cut respectively printed. stamps are from dylusions and art journey. added some tinted cut-outs from an old biology book.
wieder mal ein file folder, den ich kürzlich eingesprayt habe. take-a-word möchte in der kommenden woche bilder aus einem album sehen. ich wollte nicht meine eigenen fotos benutzen und bin ausgewichen auf marionettenbilder von scott radke (er hatte mal einen artikel in einer alten art-doll-quarterly ausgabe), deren melancholischen ausdruck ich sehr liebe. – der text ist gestanzt bzw ausgedruckt, stempelmäßig kamen zum einsatz art journey und meine neuen dylusions, außerdem hab ich noch alte biobuch-seiten eingefärbt zur ergänzung.

  1. Wow, those marionettes are fabulous! Thanks for introducing me to this artist. Your take on the theme is unique. Answering your question: from my own experience, I can tell you that melancholy is kind of genetic…

  2. I suppose I shouldn’t be smiling because your “family” is a melancholy one but their faces are so sweet and appealing I can’t help myself. This is a very creative and touching piece of art. I love it.
