I took part in an altar-cloth craft class (sort of) nearly ten years ago. After our initial session, I brainstormed techniques for the painted background, followed by symbols of faith, quotations, photocopies important to me, portraits of people and of characters that I'd add. It took me several days to do just this--what with rooting around the stuph I already owned & then ransacking A. C. Moore for the missing oddments.If I were to place the triptych on its back and you where to view it from some distance away, this is the shape you might see... \_/ It can be opened further until it is flat but then it won't sit upright. Below are its three panels... HOME < Envision if you will these three sections attached to each other in order from left to right. I'll get back to this page later and take time to explain why I included the odder symbols. If I can find it, I'll also post a small pix of the entire triptych. Maybe even what it sits on and some of the things surrounding it. |
