I found this for a $1.00

at a thrift store.

This is the back.

 This is the front.

It was a 

frame

around an ugly piece of flat tile.

Very sturdy...

Surely I can think of something to do with this!

 So I glued some tissue paper over the tile,

after painting it white.

Then some blue and mellow yellow

over the top of that.

Painted the frame black and then...

Then I scuffed up the frame,

collaged.

Not done yet.

I have to pull it together.

I did already sign it.

This is a photo of my dad,

at 18 yrs. old when he served in the navy.

While 

starting this yesterday,

I broke down crying off and on.

Looking at my young father,

a wonderful father and man.

Wondering just how many things i'll never know about him.

BUT

I treasure what I DO know about him,

to the fullest.
