I love your work in general and I love this too... but it would have been over the top if she had actually DONE the drawing on the wall...

I love the placement of her chubby, dimpled little hands though...

What is left behind

When people are asking if it is a suicide, I wonder how many people actually commit suicide with a butcher knife???

I would have liked to have seen some blood on the handle, and perhaps a hand smear with blood on the wall, with a more splashed effect that would be caused by a slashing death... the smear from where the victim grabbed at his own wound before falling...

I love the perspective and it was the first pic upon reviewing the results that looked like an actual crime scene to me.

This is am amazing story and something that resonates very closely with the way I feel when I look at a mirror, and my life, and how my grandaughters look at me.

Thank you for sharing this... it should have scored much higher...

Pins As She Left Them

Awwwwww, I LOVE this. This really strikes a chord with me, and is the perfect story to tell.

(I have my Grandmother's too, it was shaped like a little chair, and I would never dream of changing a thing about it.)

This is an amazing story!

Would have loved to have seen the shoes be very sexy, higer heels, and facing you. I love the flowing skirt and the way her bare foot crosses over to come toward you.

I like the way it feels like these two pairs of shoes shouldn't be walking together, yet they are! It tells ME a story...

"Memories"
by Crafty

Comment:

Originally posted by posthumous: Nana took one last look at her scrapbook and closed it up again, as her grandchildren came into the room. They begged her to look at it, but she refused, as always. She told them that they would only be disappointed, that this was just her childhood, more ordinary than theirs. What they didn't know was that there was not a single photograph in this "chapbook," just pages and pages of formulae and diagrams. Nobody would ever think to look for it here...

PURE GENIUS! I laughed...

In all seriousness though, your mother is precious. This is really nostalgic to me and the memory of my own beautiful Grandmother... Would love to see this cropped closer to the top of her head to avoid noticing the wrinkles in the backdrop, as well as less of the arm of the chair, right about the area where the blue under the book is showing...

I love the laugh, I love the rain, and I LOVE the spontaneous nature of this pic.

Becky's haircut looks great, and I bet her Mom LOVES this pic!

Have you ever dreamt of being out of captivity?

You know they are thinking beings, and you know they all have a story to tell.

I loved your little story, in all it's sadness it was so real I just had to stop and think.

I think we all need to stop and think a little more often.
