I'm still deciding if I'm going to make it into a longer piece or not. Your totally right about the 2 faces - there is a plus and negative to the idea of encasing his memories and I'm not sure which would be better as both prices seem to be high.Leonie Beecrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259127034649235566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706423549854344473.post-32677668978968554602010-06-22T05:01:54.595-07:002010-06-22T05:01:54.595-07:00I believe it could be both, one after another: Fir...I believe it could be both, one after another: First the encased objects will help the old man to hold on to his most precious memories. And for a while he will be happy again. But all the clever tricks we can invent to lure fate have two faces, and can turn around in an unexpected way. They may have their own price.<br />So as the illness proceeds, the marble-maker might forget the original incidents represented by the paperweights, one by one. And having to look at them then, as the symbols of his frozen memory, captured and dead like mummies, might hurt him even more...<br /><br />I wonder what you have made of it by now...? Brilliant idea this, anyway!Cerulean Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109218900232395847noreply@blogger.com
