GREETINGS WORLD... SORRY FOR THE LONG BREAK... I HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY WORKING ON A VERY EXCITING PROJECT WHICH I WILL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT SOON.
BUT... IN THE MEAN TIME, HERE IS A SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE RECYCLED INSPIRATIONAL DOMESTIC ALTAR PROJECT THAT I CREATED FOR THE WINDOW OF THE STUDIO MUSEUM OF HARLEM'S GIFT SHOP WINDOW FOR THIS COMING FALL.
THIS WHOLE PROJECT WAS MADE FROM FASHION MAGAZINES, NEWSPAPER, CARDBOARD BOXES, GLITTER & GLUE.
I INCLUDED IN THE ALTAR, ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRATIONAL BOOKS THAT I HAVE EVER READ, ON HOW THE STOCK MARKET WORKS, TITLED: BOLD MONEY BY THE POWERFUL, BRILLIANT & CREATIVE MELVIN VAN PEEBLES... AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THIS BOOK NEEDS TO BE REPUBLISHED... IT DEMYSTIFIES THE WHOLE STOCK MARKET SYSTEM, SO THAN THE EVERYDAY PERSON IS ABLE TO BE A EDUCATED ACTIVE TRADER... I'LL PUT IT LIKE THIS.... IF I CAN PLAY THE STOCK MARKET AND TRIPLE MY (LITTLE BIT OF MONEY) MONEY IN 3 MONTHS, ANYBODY CAN... YOU JUST HAVE TO CAREFULLY READ THIS BOOK, STUDY THE MARKET (WHICH CAN BE A VERY EXCITING VENTURE) AND MAKE EDUCATED DECISSIONS...
VERY BRILLIANT, UNDER EXPOSED AND VALUABLE BOOK... IT SELL ON AMAZON.COM FOR A COUPLE OF DOLLARS.... NOT A BAD PRICE FOR WHAT THIS BOOK CAN DO FOR YOU AND YOUR FINANCES...
VAN PEEBLE IS A SAINT FOR THIS PROJECT IN MY EYES.
ANOTHER VERY POWERFUL BOOK, WORTHY OF THIS HUMBLE INSPIRATIONAL ALTAR OF GRACE, IS RUSSELL SIMMONS LATEST ENLIGHTENING BOOK TITLED SUPER RICH. THIS IS THE MOST INSPIRING INSPIRATIONAL BOOK THAT I HAVE EVER READ IN MY LIFE...
I LOVE HOW THIS IS A TRIED AND TRUE TESTAMONY OF A HARD WORKING SPIRITED INDIVIDUAL FULFILLING HIS LIFE... I MUST SAY, THE LANGUAGE CAN BE A LITTLE RAW FOR SOME FOLKS, BUT,... THIS IS THE 21st CENTURY, MALCOLM X, HUMANITARIAN, URBAN WORD, ENLIGHTENING BOOK... WHEN EVER YOU LOSE SIGHT IF YOUR VISION OR GOALS AND SPEAK THE WORDS... WHAT NEXT?... CHECK OUT THIS GOLDEN PAVED BOOK, OF CONTEMPORARY SCRIPTURE... !!!
THESE TWO BOOK ARE JUST A SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE ENPOWERING OBJECTS-OF-INSPIRATION THAT ARE A PART OF THIS HUMBLE INSPIRATIONAL ALTAR OF GRACE, MY GIFT TO THE WORLD.
MY DEAR FRIENDS LITERARY AGENT MARIE BROWN DONATED HUNDREDS OF NEWSPAPERS AND PUBLISHER MALIAKA ADIRA DONATED HUNDREDS OF FASHION MAGAZINES FOR THIS PROJECT.
THANKS YOU SO VERY MUCH TO THE BOTH OF YOU FOR BEING A VITAL PART OF MY LIFE!
THE SIMPLE FOLDED RECYCLED PAPER FLOWERS & FANS ARE MADE FROM THE MAGAZINES, NEWSPAPERS, SCOTCH TAPE, GLUE, GLITTER AND A WHOLE LOT OF IMAGINATION AND PATIENCE.
THE LONG SILENT HOURS OF CONSTRUCTION WAS A SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE IN IT SELF.
THIS IS A IMAGE OF THE ALTAR IN MY MESSY STUDIO BEHIND A CHAIR... I WAS LOOKING AT THE POSSIBILITIES OF WHAT A RECYCLED THRONE-OF-POWER WOULD LOOK LIKE...
I HAVE COLLECTED CARDBOARD BOXES IN PREPARATION FOR FINALLY CREATING MY PAPER MACHE FURNITURE.... I PLAN TO START CONSTRUCTION THIS SUMMER.
MY OASIS FOR CARDBOARD BOXES FOR MY ALTARS IS COSCO... THE POSSIBLITIES ARE ENDLESS...
THE GRAPHICS ON THE BOXES REALLY GOT MY IMAGINATION SPINNING...
AS I STUDIED THE BOXES... SOME STOOD OUT MORE THAT OTHERS.
BACK IN MY STUDIO... WITH MY BLADE... I STARTED CUTTING AND GLUEING.
I REALLY LOVED EXPLORING THE DECORATIVE ARTS WITH RECYCLED MATERIALS...
I WILL DEFINATELY CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THESE RECYCLED ALTARS... WHEN EVER TIME PERMITS, THAT IS!!
I WILL BE SURE TO POST WHEN THE ALTAR AND COMPLETED AND INSTALLED IN THE STUDIO MUSEUM OF HARLEM THIS COMING FALL
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
PEACE!
